Old Cobbler Tools saved by a Blogreader!
What a great surprise arrived saturday via the postman. A follower of be-cause saved this treasure from the dustbin and decided It will be well cared and used in my hands. The postcard he attached says that the tools are from a cobbler/saddler who repaired shoes in WWII and afterwards in the neighbourhood. I really like the fact to know a bit of a background, since most tools I own, I just can makeup stories in my mind about who used them. I also like the fact that it is a complete essential leather repair kit, with beeswax, cobblers tar, needles, overstitch wheel, knife, pliers and awls. I especially like the way the stored the thread. Thanks a “PLG”!

Grüße Alex, sehr nett, einen neuen Posten zu bekommen, und ich bin froh, dass diese Werkzeuge einen neuen Gebrauch haben und neue Kunstwerke durch ihre talentierten Hände produzieren.
Eine Umarmung, Sergio
