Leather & Equipment Auction in Ohio

[bjjohns]

I was going to put this in fibers, but it's not really appropriate. I plan on going to the Weaver Leather Auction this year (June 19th & 20th). Last time I went I got a really great deal on a Durkopf-Adler flatbed industrial sewing machine (It will sew up to 1/2" thick), as well as a whole bunch of nylon & propylene strapping (great for collars, tie-out, hinges, whatever. I bought neoprene sheets, some leather sides, a electric sole nailer (Don't ask - it was $5 ). That was 10 years ago.

Anybody else thinking of going?

This sounds so neat! Middle of the week though, so I'm not sure. Did you go both days last time? Do they have any kind of schedule as to what gets auctioned each day?

Last time I traveled up from Arkansas, so we did stay both days. They put out a schedule, and I am on the mailing list, but I just have not seen it yet this year. It's a long auction, usually with separate things going on at the same time. Like small hand tools in one ring, manufactured items (like bridles, lead ropes, etc.), and hardware (rivets, buckles, snaps, etc.) in a third.

Thanks for the information. We might just go!
