FOR SALE - 1900'S Sweatband Initial Machine (Cummings Type)

[Joshbru3]

Here's a chance to get one of these really cool sweatband initial machines. It doesn't say Cummings on it, but I believe it is, or is made exactly like a Cummings. I have decided to part with it because I am actually going to hand stamp initials with leather dies into sweatbands verses using this stamping machine.

I have $100 into it. 10 bucks for shipping should do it.

I am asking $110 SHIPPED to anywhere in the CONUS.

How does it work? Does it punch holes?

 

[Joshbru3]

You pick the letter you want on the dial, push the handle down, and it perforates the sweatband with that letter. Its been used by hatters for over a hundred years.
