bigfish Posted February 22, 2010 Author Share Posted February 22, 2010 yah i thought it was a little high but from my limited experience it looks like its in great shape (gears in blower)not just the paint plus the extras coal,hood,hammer definitely wouldn't go any higher tho moot point anyway no money=no more toys but i guess i should ask what do you guys think its worth?

CurlyGeorge Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Bigfish, Troy isn't that far from Paulding. You'd enjoy the show. Good luck and take some spendin' money just in case you run into some good deals. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billp Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Hay!!! that looks an awful lot like one I bought from a friend of mine a while back. Only I payed him that price and got a 100 lb Fisher anvil and about 35 lbs of coal in one lump deal. Some one told me that forge could possibly be a rivet forge from back in the day. As for the blower mine works fine no complaints. If you could get the price down a little would not be a bad deal. On mine I changed out the legs put two big 18 inch metal spoked wheels on it and made it portable with the idea of using it at fairs and such. The picture is before put the wheels on it.

ThomasPowers Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Quad-State is where I see my friends from Canada and the US Virgin Islands, at least I don't have to go through customs or cross saltwater to get there! (Helps that I have kids in AR and OH and so we do a visit with them as well) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
