Hello I am newer to the blacksmithing world and just picked up my first forge. I notice in some of the posts from a while back that you a forge that looks just like mine. You must have been working on it trying to get the pivots free. It looks to be a round pump model with a circular fire pot. Does yours have any markings on it? I am trying to figure out how old mine is. The only markings I can find are "551" on the inside of the pot. Also, there are numbers on the blower, can't remember off the top of my head. Thanks for the help. Hope you got yours turnin' Thank you Littleotter. Blucamino@msn.com
