February 1, 20188 yr I saw an auction advertised today for Murray's Iron Works . There should be some good stuff in there if you can make it, it's on March 13. What a shame that a shop of that magnitude is closing down. I wonder if Edgar Brandt could have survived today's market conditions.
February 1, 20188 yr Wow. Thats a shame they are closing. Looks like they make some really nice stuff.
February 1, 20188 yr will the auction be at this location: "In 2001, the workshop, now housed in 19 buildings in Culver City on Blackwelder Street, moved to South Central Los Angeles and a newly renovated single 210,000 square foot facility."? Information needed in case folks wanted to try to attend it...
February 1, 20188 yr Looks like just a flyer now, no catalog yet of individual items. http://unitedassetsales.com/murray/ And here is the company website showing capabilities. http://www.murraysiw.com/ With today's market , and also having internet bidding I would not expect any deals, but you never know with an auction.
February 1, 20188 yr I was wondering about how many of it's employees might try making a go of it on their own...
February 6, 20188 yr Wonder if it's just their California operations that are closing. They have a location in Texas that might be doing well enough, but can't use all the tools and materials from the CA facilities. Still, it'd be neat to see what comes up on auction. I can't afford anything, but I don't mind some eye candy!
March 18, 20188 yr No, they shut down. 25 & 100 pound little giants sold. along with another power hammer. A nice Hay Budden which looked about 450 pounds went for $2k plus premium. I bought a bucket of hand made chains..
