Possumbreath Report post Posted February 5, 2016 I am looking for a stitching horse. I have a hand that is partially numb and need a device to hold leather securely. I am in New England, Vermont to be exact, so anyone in New England would be a bonus. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lonesome dove Report post Posted February 5, 2016 Nice one on Ebay right now. You would have to arrange for shipping however. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Antique-Saddle-Maker-Bench-Leather-Stitching-Horse-Primitive-Dated-1777-/301862026512?hash=item464860fd10:g:aAQAAOSwJcZWebVm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Possumbreath Report post Posted February 5, 2016 I saw the ebay listing, it is local pickup only. The listing on springfield is a stitching pony, I am hoping to find one like the one on eBay. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thunter9 Report post Posted February 5, 2016 I have a stitching clam I'd let go for 60 plus shipping Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Possumbreath Report post Posted February 6, 2016 I sent an email to Daniel Offerman. I need a stitching horse, not a clam or a pony. Recently had a cervical fusion and right hand still half numb (Harvesting honey from beehives using a non-OSHA approved, ergonomically challenged lifting method, best reserved for those who are 18-20 years old, not 55). So the more solid the better. Thanks for the clam offer, I am worried that learning on it will get frustrating fast. Old vintage or antique needing repair is fine. I am also in contact from a member in Iowa, we'll see how much shipping might be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ole South Report post Posted February 6, 2016 Check your regional craigslist. I think I saw one in "Antiques" or "Leather tools" in Mass. when I was up there at Christmas. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Possumbreath Report post Posted February 6, 2016 I did. There is a search tool called "Search Tempest" that will search the Craigslist listings for the entire United States. I have been checking it since December. Possible the one you saw was sold. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Possumbreath Report post Posted February 7, 2016 I found one in Vermont. Thank you all for your help. Member in West Central Florida made me think to put a wanted ad on Craigslist VT. Got a hit within a few hours. It needs a new strap,but otherwise in good shape. Been in a milking barn for awhile. John Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
