Description: Whitcher Patent 1887 Cobblers Lasting Pliers. Measuring 8 11/16" long, the jaws are 2 5/16" wide at the tips, and this weighs 14 3/4 oz unboxed. Frank W. Whitcher of Boston, MA was granted Pat. No. 372,246 on Oct. 25, 1887 for the design of this tool. This is in decent condition and was cleaned. There is some overall light patina. The jaws have a little wear to the teeth, but nothing too bad and they do close down tight and flush. The "through the center" joint has just a wee bit of wiggle. The tack claws at the end of the one handle are gone. Stuff happens. This ain't minty, but seeing as how it's between 117 and 137 years old, well it sure ain't bad either. A working and collectible old leather tool for sure! All items for sale unless otherwise noted are purchased and in most cases professionally restored by me. I take pride in offering quality items.
