Members Handstitched Posted September 19, 2021 Members Report Posted September 19, 2021 G'Day, My recent purchase from a 'vintage tool preservation' club' at a recent event, love these guys In amongst all the other countless vintage tools , some just for display, and many for sale , was this interesting piece. Its a ' saddlers palm' , or a 'saddlers collar palm', or as I call it, a 'saddlers thimble' . Its 'dimpled' on the inside , and at the end , theres a small 'hollowed' out bit for the needle to sit in. It sits comfortably in the palm of my hand , hence the name. Theres an ' 87' on the back ?? Not sure what that means ? a year, size ? Theres no makers mark, or anything else. I only paid $12 au . I could have spent a small fortune and browsed for yonks at their stall, but I had my own stall to tend. Any further info is appreciated .

Members Handstitched Posted October 2, 2021 Author Members Report Posted October 2, 2021 G'Day, I've used this tool quite a few times now, its becoming quite handy, not just a ' museum piece' in my workshop. It fits snuggly and comfortably in the palm of my hand ( as the name suggests) and I've got small hands too , a good buy that HS Quote ' I have a very gweat friend in Wome called Biggus Dickus, He has a wife you know, do you know whats she's called?

I've found the older tools often are about the best at what they do.
