More about the leather cutting machine: The machine could be manufactured at the end of the 1800s or at the beginning of the 1900s by the Frobana company. The machine is a leather splitter and skiver, and it was used for lining shoes, handbags, and wallets. Almost all the shoemakers had one of these back in those times. It is a beautiful leather machine that deserves to be restored and preserved. I hope I have caught everything, but if you have any questions, you can comment, and I'll get back to you! Cheers!
