What is the value of a Tobin Arms shotgun with a hard bound leather case?
I don't find much about Tobin Arms Co. except that it was in Norwich CT around 1860, and that the G.B. Crandall Company Limited of Woodstock, Ontario, Canada retailed a shotgun of unknown manufacture with the trade name Tobin Simplex. Unless your gun has something special (fancy wood, hand engravings, precious metal overlays), it is going to be just another old trade-name utility shotgun worth $125-$150. The leather case may be worth more.
Good evening;
I have a collection of Tobin shotguns and would be interested in discussing your shotgun with the possibility of purchasing it should it still be available. Would appreciate your reply even if you no longer have the firearm. Regards. Louis

What is the value of a Columbia Arms shotgun?
Even if only in fair condition, it is probably still worth $125-$150 as a mantle decoration, as long as it has all the external parts and isn't dripping rust.
I have the same shotgun, but I do not know much about it. Most of the engraving is worn and I can't read anything more than to know it is from Sears. Do you have any information on this gun? Thanks
What is the history of Wilson Leather?
I know that during the 70's the stores were know as "Wilson's House of Suede" and the shop I was familiar with was in North Hollywood, California. They TV ads I believe were usually for Mens Jackets. Prior to the late 80's, there were two companies: Wilson's House of Suede - mainly on the West Coast, and Berman's in the Midwest and East. They merged, kept the Bermans operating structure, and renamed the chain Wilsons. The company was founded as Berman Buckskin at the turn of the 20th Century. The Berman Buckskin building remained in downtown Minneapolis until the mid 90's when it was finally torn down.
What is the value of a 1905 diamond arm shotgun?
Diamond Arms was one of the many house brand names used by Crescent Arms, which went out of business in 1932. Manufacture records have been lost, and dating is impossible. The 1905 date is the patent date, not the year of manufacture. These guns have never inspired collector interest, and have value only as shooters. In excellent condition, it may be worth up to $200.
Yes, there are several things that will get this out. Get some dish soap with "grease disolver in it." Brands: Sunlight, Dawn, etc. If you read the bottle it will say "cuts grease." Take your shirt and dribble a little of the dish soap on the stain and rub, then rinse, and then repeat this method until the spot is gone. I live in Canada (don't know if you can get this product there) but it's called "Gal Friday" and sold in Safeway. It's where your laundry soaps are and where the strain remover section is. It's the same ingredients that dry cleaners use. It has a strong cleaning smell, but it won't hurt you. Just pour some onto the stain, leave for 5 - 15 mins., then put in the washing machine with warm water and laundry soap (PLEASE DO NOT USE ANY LAUNDRY DETERGENT WITH BLEACH WHEN USING THIS METHOD.) If you have carpet foam cleaner, use a little on your spotted shirt (PLEASE TRY AN AREA FOR PATCH TEST WHERE YOU CAN'T SEE IT FIRST.)

What type of paint is best used for painting on plastic tupperware containers?
I don't know how envolved you want to get but, your problem is the plastic will flex and the paint will chip and peel, you need two (2) things, a bonding agent (to make the paint stick to the plastic) and a flex agent (to make the paint stretch). you can get these at a automotive paint store. Its a little envolved but I have never had a problem with peeling or chipping paint on plastic. NOTE: Car bumpers are painted this way. OOP'S, Enamel paint is just fine
What animal skins were used to make leather?
Cow skin
Answer:
Almost any hide can be tanned to make leather either with the fur on or off. A visit to a cowboy boot shop will have examples of python, alligator, emu. Jacket shops have pig cow, kid, lamb, buckskin, sheep. Horsehide is popular for furniture, hagfish and eel skin for wallets. Eskinoes use wolf, bear, elk, caribou, and dog. The RCMP used buffalo coats.
On the morbid side, there are periodic reports of human hide being made into leather (aside from the cover from H.P. Lovecraft's fictitious Necronomicon)

Identify a leather basketball as a conductor or a insulator?
Leather is generally an insulator, unless you dope it with high concentrations of conducting materials or you ionise it, which would happen if you subject it to extremely high voltages of electricity (which may vaporise it, and if you're doing it on high quality leather bags, there goes your money). Otherwise 99.99999999% of the times it is an insulator.
Can you remove paint from leather boots that you painted?
A brush with dish soap on it should be able to get most of it off if you do it soon after painting. If you have a leather cleaner that has a petroleum base, that may do a good job. A fine sandpaper may also work as a last resort.
Is Indiana Jones' fedora made of leather or felt?
The "official" hat is a brown fedora constructed of crushable, water-repellent wool felt.
Of course, the "official" hat is actually "officially licensed" and has everything to do with marketing and not realism.
While there were several hats used in the Indiana Jones series of movies, all were basically the same style: a dark brown, pre-WWII-style rabbit fur felt fedora with a dark brown grosgrain ribbon.
The problem with the officially licensed hats is that the crown is tapered -- narrower at the top than at the sides. Pre-WWII hats had non-tapered crowns and, thus, had a more boxy appearance than more modern hats.
Indiana Jones wore a gray fedora when he traveled about the seaplane and again at the end of "Raiders" when he was in a suit.

How is leather a renewable resource?
Leather is not renewable otherwise we would be able to recycle shoes.
Indians tanned their skins for many uses. Some used tanned hides for shelter. Many used them to make clothing. Other tribes used leather for bridles for their horses. Leather was used for whatever the Indian had need for at the time. If there was a way to use leather, at least one tribe would have found it.
