harness stitching vise

Post by mrwatch »

A harness makers stitching vise. I mounted it on a board to be able to clamp, unlike a stitching pony that is held under the legs. unmarked so I would like to know the age and maker?

That’s a wonderful old find. I’ve seen a few over the years in tack shops, but never really thought much about them. What’s great old tool.
