This is a nice vintage cast iron, pistol shaped, and graduated 4" steel slitting tool or gauge, generally designed for cutting strips of leather, but may have other uses as well. It comes complete with a good sharp cutter and adjustable width feature that has a graduated scale in inches on it. The tool is marked on the top of the pistol shaped section "PAT. AUG. 1..6 REISSUED", although the Osborne mark is not on this one, the patent mark and the pistol grip shape is identical to the marked Osbourne models we have seen. The Patent date is 1876 reissued July 17, 1877 on this design. The slide bar has the capacity from 1/4"4" widthes, and can hold a cutter up to 1/4 x 3/4". The pistol shaped handle appears to have had black paint or Japanning on it originally, about 0% remains on it. All in good condition with no cracks or damage, some pitting on about 25% of the total surfaces, no bad, still a good clean useable tool overall. The cutter is sharp and ready to use! A nice clean vintage leather working tool!
