Description: I am offering for sale this RARE FIND Antique The C.S. Osborne Newark, NJ Pat'd 1866 Machine Fluter Inv#MI63 The C.S. Osborne of Newark, NJ is a name that is familiar to collectors and users of antique leather workers tools. The same company was also the manufacturer of this unusual fluting machine, recognizable by it unique "steering wheel" fluter roll tensioner. This model is the earlier of the two produced by Osborne, the later one having a lever tensioning device instead of the wheel. This early example is in super condition and exhibits the quality workmanship the Osborne company is known for. It is complete with both of its original slugs, which measure about an inch in diameter, considerable larger than most other typical machine fluter slugs. Another nice detail is that the rollers are designed with hinged end caps, which help to retain the slugs themselves and the heat that they would have radiated. And they are nicely marked with the manufacturer's info and the early 1866 patent date. It weighs 8lbs 3oz. Approx 12" h x 10" w x 4" d. In perfect working order. This fluter is one that is rarely offered for sale except out of long-time collections. A really great find to add to your collection.
