jmccustomknives Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 A kind gentleman brought this to me. It doesn't have any name one it. Works great. Been wanting a primitive demo, this is the next step for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matto Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Tiger is canedy otto's econo line they would use as a price point blower. Would usually sell in Sears, Montgomery Wards. Nice blowers. I have restored 4 of them and still have 3. Very smooth runners. This is the first one I have seen with the bent angle iron legs. Mine have all had the bent rolled pipe legs. Internals are about the same as the western chief and the stamped canedy Otto blowers. But all the Tigers I have seen are just marked with a name on the mounting bracket. And no names on the blower housings. They also just had plugs instead of the fancy brass valves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great info. When I'm doing demos I like to share about the age of the equipment, so what years would this have been made? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
