August 15, 201213 yr On August 14 in Toronto Canada was a large blacksmith shop auction, forges, 5 power hammers, anvils, upsetters a great sale but sad that such a great shop fell to no one wanting to take over the family business here are some pics sorry for the quality. Hammers were 150 lb hercules,50lb and 30 lb Bradley 100 lb Beaudry 100 lb Murco anvils from 400 to100 lb lots of dies and other great stuff
August 15, 201213 yr Did you get anything? Shame no one could make a go of buying the business but do hope all the tools went to those that will use them!
August 15, 201213 yr Author Yes got lots of neat things made sure the hammers did not go for scrap. They were in business for 40 years. Primary made tools, crowbars, picks, chisels, stone hammers, sharpened jackhammer bits, all sorts of products
August 15, 201213 yr What I wouldn't give for that gigantic Fisher anvil!! That's two large, near mint Fishers I've seen lately, and both of them are just too far off to afford the shipping! I'm not a happy camper right now! Glad you had a good time and got some neat stuff.
August 16, 201213 yr Wow! wish I could have been there, I've got a Bradley and I'm on the look out for dies and die inserts.
August 17, 201213 yr Sure wish i had known about this, What were the prices like? How much were the Hammers going for?
