A benchtop leather splitting machine constructed primarily of heavy cast iron with steel components, mounted to a thick, rectangular unfinished wood block base. The mechanical apparatus features a horizontal top drive shaft connecting to two small pinion gears which engage with larger toothed wheels at either end. These wheels are attached to vertical threaded screw rods designed to adjust the height and tension of the cylindrical rollers situated below. No other maker's marks, patent dates, or manufacturer stamps are visible on the metal frame or the wooden base.Measurements/notes: Size was missed on handwritten sheet.
