Way cool, love the patina, the wood screw is, of course, priceless.

I found a stitching clamp at an antique store that has a really cool iron handled adjustment nut & what appears to be a hand forged loop on the adjustment bolt. The wood is old barrel staves and the hinge has some cool old hardware to hold it to the staves. Unfortunately, I didn't take pictures before I put leather over the hinge (to protect my wooden chair from the hinge while stitching), but I'll try to post pics soon.

And yes, I go to antique stores to fuel my collections of cool old stuff: both tools (leatherworking or otherwise) and fountain pens.

You really can't have too many tools, and the old stuff is so good.

You have appeared to have the early signs of an affliction known as the oldtool-itis.

The only known treatment is the regular topical application of ferric-oxide suspended in petroleum distillates.

Found in an Antique store. Purchased last year for $60.00. Cool!
