Interesting for certain. Either way, top end, bottom end. I can't beat the deal for a piece of history. If I am able to return it to function as intended all the better. Thank you for the info.

I have the opportunity to pick this forge and blower for a very reasonable price and a bit of drive time on my part. I have searched the interweb and I am having a bit of difficulty finding information on the Champion Forge and Blower Co. #1 blower. I also searched the option of a #11 with no avail. I realize the forge itself may be beyond repair but I have one and my primary interest is the blower. The plan is repairing/restoring it to 100% function if possible. To me it looks as though there is a top over missing and the piping. Current owner states the blower turns "with a bit of WD-40 sprayed on the gears". Any advice or assistance identifying the blower itself is greatly appreciated.
