Hello All,

Anyone hear of a 300 Bradley Upright sold in New Jersey in 20013/14?

 

If so I know where the missing parts are.

Ric-Do you know who the prior owner of this machine was? I think is probably the 6th of these machines I've ever heard of:

 

1. Mine

2. One in OK owned by the man who I got mine from

3. One at Wessel Machine shop in PA

4. One at Frog Valley Forge 

5.One in IL owned by Mark Gardner

 

As for the 500 lb uprights the ones I know of are"

1. Mine

2. Michael Dillion's

3. One at Max Wiess in Milwaukee

4. There was one at Rockford Drop Forge and I was told it was sold to a machine tool dealer in Toledo for inclusion in the owner's private collection.

 

Does anyone know of any other of these big Bradleys?

A friend in NJ.

He had is stored at a "friend's" yard and it and other tooling was sold to a machinery dealer late 13/early 14 without permission.

Originally came from an auction in Canada.

That is one I  hadn't heard of and I haven't heard of any big Bradley's changing hands since I got my 500. That is a pretty raw deal for your friend.  It is possible it went back into a manufacturing setting rather than to an ornamental ironworker. There are a few shops that still use this machines for production.

I was contacted about a 500 in a field north of Albany NY, it might still be there.

I appologize...it was a Bradley Compact.....no beam.

300# compact, was that the one advertised back around 06 on e-bay? that hammer was near perfect

He had owned the hammer for about 5-7 years (seems about right to me)......bought at an auction from Canada.
