Tool - Leather Tools
These leatherworking tools were widely used in the 19th and early 20th centuries by saddlers, cobblers, and leather artisans for making shoes, saddles, belts, and harnesses. The round knife (half-moon knife) was an essential tool for cutting and skiving leather. The hole marker or stitch marker ensured even stitching, improving durability and aesthetics. The clamp tool may have been used for holding pieces of leather together during stitching or gluing. Such tools were indispensable in handcrafted leather goods before industrialized mass production. From HODGES Saddlery at NatimukThe image features three distinct vintage leatherworking tools, each tagged with numbers for identification. Left Tool: Leatherworking or Saddler’s Clamp A small metal clamp with an adjustable screw mechanism, likely used in leather stitching or riveting. The rusted metal body suggests it was used extensively in leather crafting, possibly to hold pieces of leather together while being stitched or to secure a cutting guide. The adjustable components indicate it was a versatile tool. Middle Tool: Leather Round Knife (Half-Moon Knife) A wooden-handled cutting tool with a curved, semi-circular blade, commonly known as a round knife or half-moon knife. This tool is traditionally used by leatherworkers for cutting, skiving, and shaping leather. The blade is rusted, but the tool still retains its distinct shape. The wooden handle is rounded for a firm grip, essential for precise cutting. Right Tool: Leather Hole or Stitch Marker A small metal tool with multiple protruding points, likely used for marking stitch holes or perforating leather before sewing. The sharp points indicate it could have been used to create evenly spaced stitch lines or decorative impressions. This type of tool was commonly used by cobblers, saddlers, and leatherworkers to ensure even and consistent stitching.leather, cutting tools, commercial equipment, saddlery -

Domestic object - Shoe Stretcher
Shoe stretchers were commonly used by cobblers and shoe repairers in the 19th and early 20th centuries to adjust the fit of leather shoes. They were particularly useful for breaking in new shoes or accommodating foot conditions such as bunions. Unlike modern wooden or plastic stretchers, this all-metal design is more industrial and may have been used in shoemaking workshops rather than for personal home use.The item is a vintage metal shoe stretcher, a tool used for expanding the width of leather shoes to improve fit and comfort. It consists of two long, flat metal arms that taper at the ends, connected by a central hinge with a rounded handle for applying force. The metal arms open and close when pressure is applied, allowing the tool to be inserted into a shoe and expanded to stretch the material. The stretcher has a rusted, aged appearance, indicating significant use over time. shoe stretcher, shoes, bookmaker, household item, commercial equipment -
