Description:Cobblers leather splitter. The leather is fed into the rollers by turning the handle on the side, forcing the leather onto a blade directly behind the rollers which slices the leather into two layers. The maker's name is cast on the top of the machine: 'RODI'.
This machine was used by Mr Wheeldon who had a cobblers shed in his back garden on Bagot Street, Abbots Bromley.
