Vintage / Antique Iron American Leather Splitter from St. Louis Made in the USA
This is a gorgeous, old and rare machine mast of cast iron, brass and steel with a wooden handle. Leather feeds through the side and as you turn it meets a blade and is thinned. It\'s designed for smaller leathercrafts such as belts and straps.
The blade could be sharpened as it hasn\'t been used in a long time. It has been cleaned, oiled and kept indoors in a climate controlled environment as a historic piece of an antique leather tool collection.
These are rare to come by with their brass cap. For the leather artisan looking to add some character to their bench.I\'m parting with some of my most beloved leather tools of many years; if this is of interest to you, please see my other items.
