This machine was used to produce and process leather.
Widely used in the past for various purposes, such as the production of leather goods, repair and restoration of old pieces of leather, as well as for the manufacture of shoes.
The leather machine was equipped with various tools and mechanisms that allowed the leather to be processed. These included, for example, sewing machine knives, pressing machines and other specialized tools.
These devices allowed artisans and manufacturers to work with leather and create various products with high precision and quality.
As man developed, so did the use of leather. In some cultures, leather was considered a symbol of high status, and the leather craft became highly sought after throughout the world.
It was used in everyday life and was primarily oriented towards function.
Its production began to grow.
Shoes, belts, hats, bags, gloves, harnesses, tents, jewelry and others were produced.
For example, the oldest leather shoe was found in an Armenian cave and is estimated to be 5500 years old.
An interesting fact is that even in China they used leather to make leather armor, which was made from both cowhide and rhinoceros and buffalo hide.
In the 18th century, leather experienced an industrial revolution, and nowadays the demand is very high, so artificial leather and synthetic leather material are also entering the market.
And that's all for today's video.

There are so few of restorers on youtube that actually tell the history of what they are restoring, but it really adds to my enjoyment. Thank you both for such great education and fascinating videos.

Your attention to detail is far superior to any I've seen on YouTube. This piece, which was little more than a door stop, is now a working piece of antique history. It turned out beautifully. I love your channel. Keep up the great work. ❤

Oh what a delight! Spent the day working on refinishing a 1940's waterfall desk, then came in to a Veradona video! Life is good. Seriously cool device and beautifully restored. Your attention to detail and problem solving is a joy to behold. And Veronika's explanation at the end is just so perfect. You two do such fantastic work! So glad I found your channel. Thank you (again!) for posting; you two just make life better. Take care!

Колись трапилося зробити кілька виробів зі шкіри. Тоді край шкіри мусив зменшувати гострим лезом. А виявляється багато років тому люди винайшли для цього інструмент. Гарна робота!!! Дякую за відео.

I'm 74 and my Grandfather had a shoe repair shop in Salem, Ohio, USA and I cut many leather soles for him when small. Hand crank and all. LOL thanks for them memories. Fabulous renew job done!

What always amazes me with these older items is how rough the milling and machining were. We are so used to modern machines and very tight tolerances. So when you see bore holes with rough edges or casting marks and lines you wonder how they even let this get sent out (forgetting our modern biases in such things). And watching how they work so well once restored is relaxing actually.

Ура! Наконец-то долгожданное видео. Вы же для меня как колыбельная по воскресеньям. Получается, " две недели уже не спал"😂😂😂. Спасибо Вам большое. СУПЕР-ПУПЕР!!!

So many pieces I didn’t think you would get it completely apart. Fantastic job as always. ❤❤❤

Hello everyone from Armenia ✌🏼🇦🇲✌🏼

This is my first Veradona video on YT, and by chance I am from St Louis, Missouri, USA, same as this Landis Machine! In further coincidence, I spent my childhood in gymnastics and sleep-away summer camp with Sokol, a then Czechoslovakian, now Czech organization. We would start all of our gymnastics competitions with 3 national anthems, which we were to know by heart: US "Star Spangled Banner", Czech "Kde domov můj", and Slovak "Nad Tatrou sa blýska". When I hear them I tear up, just like I used to!

Yours is one of the only restoration channels that doesn't make their stuff look dirtier than it was when they got it
-
Outstanding restoration! There were so many parts! 👍

Yet another perfect restoration. I always enjoy the history lesson. Thank you, and keep up the fabulous work.

Rebuilding the teeth on that gear was the most impressive thing. But that green color really makes the final piece snap. Another nice restoration.

I recall seeing old family photo's of this machine. My great uncle, Antonio Elvis, owned one. He came to the USA in 1915 or 16 after losing his entire family in a house fire. He sold the land and bought passage to the United States where he settled in the state of Florida. He bought this Landis model and another Landis machine that sewed. He began accumulating cow hides from a local moo-moo slaughter house. After drying and tanning the hides he made S & M items. His first customers were the local Mayor and his wife, who were said to be into S & M around their house. Soon their prominent friends bought S & M goods too. Word caught on and his business flourished. He became well known for the best Sandals and Moccasins in the county. He expanded to belts, suspenders, harnesses, wallets, purses, etc. He started a new family and prospered until his death is 1967. No one knows what became of his Landis manufacturing tools but guesses are his family sold them.
