Members Constabulary Posted October 17, 2015 Members Report Posted October 17, 2015 I got this strap cutter in a lot I bought from an old upholstery shop that went out of business. It´s the only leather tool in that lot but I don´t know much about the vinatge tools so I wonder if someone knows the maker.

Members penguineer Posted October 17, 2015 Members Report Posted October 17, 2015 Given that the gauge markings appear to be metric, I'd guess French/European for a start...... Cheers!

Members 25b Posted October 17, 2015 Members Report Posted October 17, 2015 That's called a plough gauge. Might help you find more info about who made it if you have the right name of the tool. Looks similar to mine and mine is a Blanchard. Quote
Members Constabulary Posted October 17, 2015 Author Members Report Posted October 17, 2015 Holy smokes - do they really cost about $400? I had no Idea Haven´t figured the maker yet but they all look pretty much identlical. Some have more steel parts but most are about the same style. errr -someone interested in it?

Members 25b Posted October 17, 2015 Members Report Posted October 17, 2015 Uhh...I didn't pay that much for mine and mine came with an extra blade... But I guess it's worth whatever you can get someone to pay for it. Quote
Members Constabulary Posted October 17, 2015 Author Members Report Posted October 17, 2015 Well, the few straps I probably would cut with it are worth buying cut to my specs so I think selling it is probably the better deal for me. Some one interested in it $200 incl worldwide shipping? Send me PM.

Members penguineer Posted October 17, 2015 Members Report Posted October 17, 2015 Theres a marking on the left hand side of the blade(pic 3) that I went looking for...I guess that's the makers mark.....someone that knows a bit more might know what that means. Looks in very good condition! Cheers! Quote -- Stupidity is a naturally renewable resource. Any sufficiently advanced magic is indistinguishable from a yo-yo. Chain lube - it's not just a fetish.
Moderator bruce johnson Posted October 17, 2015 Moderator Report Posted October 17, 2015 If you are serious about selling it for $200 shipped, then consider it sold to me. Please send me a PM about payment details Quote Bruce Johnson Malachi 4:2 "the windshield's bigger than the mirror, somewhere west of Laramie" - Dave Stamey Vintage Refurbished And Selected New Leather Tools For Sale - www.brucejohnsonleather.com
Members simontuntelder Posted October 21, 2015 Members Report Posted October 21, 2015 The maker is German. I think it was called Rossler or Rössler. I have plenty of tools from the same maker and they're good. Has it sold? Quote
