Old Boggy Posted June 13, 2020 Report Share Posted June 13, 2020 Not quite sure what this is as it was amongst some checkering bits and bobs recently given to me, but not at all sure whether it has anything to do with checkering. Any thoughts ? OB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think it's anything to do with checkering. Perhaps Mel's wife Lin might know, she's into leather, or is that just Mel at weekends.

Possibly but stamping tools tend not to have handles, more likely for gold leafing on book bindings and/or leather goods Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just asked her good self, neither of us know what it is , but we both agree that I look spankingly good in leather 😆. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted June 13, 2020 Report Share Posted June 13, 2020 I'd agree a stamping or branding tool. Heat up the end and press the pattern into whatever you want to decorate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

figgy Posted June 13, 2020 Report Share Posted June 13, 2020 It does and the handle being wood also made me think as it looks similar to the old soldering irons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
