Hello All! I finally got me a coal forge. It was owned by the man who drove the school bus I rode while in elementary school. He passed away a few years back, and his wife and daughter were left with the forge along with his anvil and post leg vice. The forge and other items belonged to his father who was also the local blacksmith at a community near the river south of me.


I am not sure, but I think it is a Buffalo Forge #12 pan. There is a number cast into the underside of the forge looks like a 12. The blower was stolen or misplaced. There is a bracket attached to the bottom of the pan that would have held the blower. I believe it used to have a clinker breaker but that was replaced with a grate some time ago.

If anyone can identify this forge and/or have a lead on a blower that would work. Please post.

Hey Maz, Great to hear you got a "new to you" coal forge. Looks great and you should have it up and running in no time. Enjoy it.

Been working on the forge when I can, added a Champion 400 blower, and painted the forge body. Next will be some new legs and bracing also a hood.
