Leather Company Went Out of Business, Trying to Sell Assets

[OLDNSLOW]

My guess is that they are swamped with their own business and the day to day running of it along with the task of getting a clear picture of what the truly have.  I had a chance to speak with Scott on the phone, and what took place is that they bought a building lock, stock, and barrel. the purchase of the building was for their ongoing business that they run and are very busy with, along with trying to dispense all of the leather, hardware, and odds n ends that went along with the deal.  Scott did send me a short note along with a sample of some leather that was included, and I have been trying to contact him as well.  The reason for me to try and have a follow up with him is that the leather that they sent out was not an 8-9oz leather, it measured at 5oz  and wanted to let him know that and also try and find out if the leather was all that thickness. but I have also been unsuccessful at reaching him.  So I guess we all just have to wait and see what they decide to do with everything.

Ron;

Good evening. First let me apologize for not explaining the sample I sent a bit better. We have some piece cuts, but not much in the thicker (8/9 oz) size and I do not want to start cutting up the full hides for samples so I send out pieces of the other leather which is already cut. I honestly did not know the thickness until you wrote in and said it was a 5 oz. I should have looked through the pile a bit more carefully to ensure I found a thick piece for you. I have attached a photo to show the thickness of the full double shoulders. They are all in the 1/8" (8/9 oz) thickness.

Shortly after we spoke last week, we received a set of gov't PO's and have just now come up for air. It is 11:30 pm and it is probably to late to give you a call. If you are free tomorrow, give me a shout at your convenience, I should be in the office by 9:00 am and good all day. I look forward to hearing from you.

Also, here is the beginnings of the hardware web-site. I will continue getting more up, but this will at least give you an idea of where we are at on it.: http://scottalangardner.wix.com/leather-and-hardware

Terry,

No worries. We will be loading more items all weekend and if there is anything you see, let me know and I am sure we can get together on it.

has anyone bought anything from this guy and received it, I keep calling wanting to buy from this guy and cant get a call back, I did speak with him on a few previous occasions but now nothing, I know he runs another business but he must not be hard pressed to sell like I thought he was oh well.

I just joined this forum and saw your post.  Do you still have any items for sale?

[goldstamping]

Thanks for the note. Yes we do. We have been very busy with our "real" jobs so we have not been able to work on this as much as we should, but we still have a lot of the hardware, half the machinery and 20-22 double shoulders. I don't know what you were interested in, but let me know and I can get you additional photos if wanted. Thanks.
