GORGEOUS EARLY H HUBER PISTOL GRIP LEATHER SLITTER OR DRAW GAUGE - 1834

A beauty. Wonderful patina and well used noting the worn groove on the left side of the handle. Missing cutter is easily replaced as they often were. From Bruce Johnson's excellent website on leather tools:  "H Huber – Philadelphia. I can find scarce little information on much of the timeline for Henry Huber. He was reported to be one of the premier makers of Bowie knives and the knife collectors give big money for one. He was on his own for some period of time but was listed with Joseph English at the Sheffield Works in Philadelphia from 1834 on for a few years."
