OK!!! The last two weekends have been great toy wise!!



Last weekend a 88 pound Hay Budden anvil for 175. Works out to just under my usual two dollar a pound limit.



This weekend , a no name 2x3 cast iron forge with Working blower missing only the tube between the fire pot and blower.

Up date on the forge. Forgot to say I paid a hundred dollars for it. I also found a bit of interesting information. The casting on the gear case is identical to my Tiger so I dug a bit and found this site : OWWM It would seem that the forge came from Canedy Otto as part of their economy line.

I'm with Thomas, I'd make it the waiting room couch in the complaint department.
