BangBang Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 I have a local guy with a nice tiger Hand Crank Blower. He wants 300. which is more that I want to pay. I cannot speak for Tiger or otto Blowers, but I do have a original 1923 Hibbard Hardware catalogue! This book list allot of champion blowers and forges, Here are pictures of a few if any interest?

ThomasPowers Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 I've met a lot of people wanting lots of $$$ for rare antique tools; then they get all huffy when I show them the same item in the Sears Roebuck catalog as their "cheap" choice...one reason I have the 1897 and 1906 catalog reprints...

BangBang Posted January 31, 2018 Author Share Posted January 31, 2018 LOL yea , thats a fact, but not so funny as they are not cheap anymore! Bringing large prices these days, when they are gone there gone! I have been collecting antiques for years now I am becoming one faster than I care to admit.

ThomasPowers Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 One thing I realize is that the "disposable" items become the rarer over time and few people save them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elemental Metal Creations Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Champion 145 for $16. I was happy to give $75 a couple of years ago for one with a cracked pan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
