Antique tools

Recommended Posts

I bought out a leather shop from an elderly gentleman. In this shop a Katz & Blakemore 24” electric splitter, an American lockstitcher, an American handcrank 6” tabletop splitter, I’m also finding tools like an H Sauerbrier gauge knife over 100 CS Osborne stamps. 
Trying to find out what the 24” splitter is worth. Have been unsuccessful finding any info on it. Everything else is easy.

If no-one can give you an answer here's a wee trick I used to use. Used both on ebay and live auctions. Put the item up for sale, but with a ridiculously high 'reserve; price, like $1 million. People will bid to the highest they think its worth, most likely well below your reserve. Then you'll have a guide price to what its worth. There is a chance that someone will meet your reserve price and you may need to sell
