Troy Ray Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 (edited) Hello, I just picked up two hand crank blowers. I picked them up in South Arkansas at Marks Mills. For you that don't know it is a Civil War battle site. It had 3 mills on the ground where the South surprised the Union. I got it from a Auction just about 1/2 mile from the old mill ground. Very old home stead, I had a couple old men (80'S) tell me they where from the old mills. Both are in working order one is a No 625 Buffalo forge blower and the other is a 990 Tiger blower. I don't know much about them but I had family in the Ar 7th in the civil War, So I had to buy them. Edited July 25, 2015 by Troy Ray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charles R. Stevens Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Hand cranked blowers were rare at the time of the civil war, so they are probbably much newer, we do have a reaident expert , Mr Einhorn may chime in. Still a great find Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
