Members Fatolbaldguy Posted July 10, 2020 Members Report Posted July 10, 2020 A few years ago I walked into an Amish harness shop in Intercourse PA. The nice couple sold me an antique hardware setting press. (I don’t really know what it’s called). It has some of the adapter doo dads in a compartment. Today I decider to try it. I works. Sort of. Snaps in leaves a dent on top but rivers work good. I’d love to know more about this little machine. If I never get it to work it still looks cool so no buyer’s remorse. If anyone knows anything about it I’d love to hear. It ha Pat 1900 on one side and son illegible lettering embossed on the other. Quote
Members Alaisiagae Posted July 23, 2020 Members Report Posted July 23, 2020 It looks a lot like a standard hand press for leather working. I've never used one before, so I don't know how it works. I know Tandy sells one that looks like yours, it comes with a brass anvil that can be replaced with dies for setting rivets and stuff. Quote
