Members Mattsbagger Posted January 28, 2018 Members Report Posted January 28, 2018 After a year and about 30 antique shops finally found one! $85.00 need to replace the leather strap and wrap the jaws in leather but should be good to go after that. Still pretty tight just a bit of a wiggle. Quote
Mjolnir Posted January 28, 2018 Report Posted January 28, 2018 That is a great find! any idea how old it is? Quote He attacked everything in life with a mix of extraordinary genius and naive incompetence, and it was often difficult to tell which was which. Douglas Adams
Members Mattsbagger Posted January 28, 2018 Author Members Report Posted January 28, 2018 No clue. It is OLD. Haven't found any markings on it. Flat head screws and saw a horse shoe nail repair. It seems to be hand made. It's rough not polished like it was made for sale. If you know what I mean. Quote
bikermutt07 Posted January 28, 2018 Report Posted January 28, 2018 Good find. Quote I'm not paying 80 bucks for a belt!!! It's a strip of leather. How hard could it be? 4 years and 3 grand later.... I have a belt I can finally live with. Stitching is like gravy, it's only great if you make it every day. From Texas but in Bossier City, Louisiana.

Members DJole Posted January 28, 2018 Members Report Posted January 28, 2018 Your persistence paid off at last! Nice to see a piece of working equipment being returned to work, instead of gathering dust in a corner. Quote \D. Jole \ --> <http://djole.altervista.org/djole/Publications/Leather/Lindex.htm>
Members Tugadude Posted January 28, 2018 Members Report Posted January 28, 2018 Very likely a homemade horse. Very cool find. Quote
