Yeah if you read the print it is designed to store wet coal. CWB - that is from the 1909 Champion catalog.

A couple of fish gigs I made last weekend for one of my son's trapper buddies. -
Nice anvil. Trentons usually have the weight stamped on the left front foot and the serial number on the right front (as you are looking towards the horn).

I'm with you on the function thing Frosty. I painted up my old pedestal grinder when I had it torn down to rebabbit the bearings and now it sticks out like a sore thumb.

Stretch on Rubber Tires is one source. Check over at owwm.com, they have a lot of info on replacing band saw tires and sources.

There are several knifemakers around your area that come to mind. As mentioned above, Tom McGinnis Ozark Knife Makers at Nixa, Don Hanson Don Hanson Custom Knives at Success, Bill Miller at Warsaw (W.M.Knives).

Jr. you have added a few "toys" to the shop since that picture was taken. :p

The other problem with some of these old motors is the wire insulation is usually cracked and flaking off where the wire passes through the case. I usually go inside the case and clip the wires there and solder on a new piece of wire to extend outside the case and use some shrink tubing to insulate it. Sometimes there is enough room to use wirenuts inside the case if you don't want to solder it.

Keykeeper Nice Blower. That should be a universal motor (brush type), designed to run on a rheostat. A light dimmer switch or a fan rheostat will work, but you may have to replace it every few years. I use one of those old ceramic rheostats on my Buffalo, which has a similar motor. These rheostats show up on Ebay all the time.

Speaking of Sid's Depews . . . here is a picture of part of his display at the BAM conference.

Good deal Jr. Glad to hear things are looking up.

Tommy, I'll be heading to Sedalia Wed. morning too. Of course it is only about an hour drive for me. See you all there.

Jr. you're just lucky that thing didn't fit in the back of my Jeep. :D

Attached is a pic of the type of chain used with this type of tool. The links have to be rotated so that one link is lined up with the slot in the adjoining link to separate or to reconnect the chain. This type of tool could be slipped on one link and the link rotated and held while the adjoining link could be slipped out through the slot in the held link. This type of chain is common in old machinery, especially farm machinery.
-
Yeah it looks like a chain break or detacher for the old rectangular link machinery chain.
-
Here is an old picture of a hammer with a similar linkage. I had saved this picture because I have a punch/shear unit identical to the one in the lower righthand part of the photo. Only other one I have seen.

Good to hear you guys are OK Stan. It woke me and the wife up this morning. I couldn't figure out what was going on with the house shaking and the dishes rattling.:confused: -
The feet style indicate old English. The underside profile of the horn is indicative of a Mousehole anvil. Do the numbers on the side have punch marks between them?
-
Wouldn't that be "bare" feet? :p
