Champion Stitcher on orignal base 1931

[Wallyworld]

Cleaning out my dad's estate and came across this stitcher.  Bicycle pedal with metal seat.  Unit was in a hardware store that can be traced back to 1890's.  Section of building has all sorts of horse leather straps, horse collars, etc.  My family would like to get $1,500 or best/better offer.  Unit is in Wisconsin, USA.  About 2.5 hours from Chicago.  The top end of the stitcher is stamped 1931.  Not shown in pics, is also an old wooden table that had parts that look like they were also used either with this machine or part of the leather repair area.  Let me know if you have questions or would like additional information.
