Ericsg Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 A friend of mine is looking for a blower and found this. Any one ever seen one like it and if so what is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Looks like one used in a parlor for the parlor fireplace. I'll try to remember to check the Sears Roebuck catalogs from 1897, 1905, 1908 when I get home tonight to see if they sold one like that. I'll also check out kitchen stuff in my various books. Probably work fine for a charcoal forge but may have issues with a coal or coke forge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ericsg Posted August 28, 2018 Author Share Posted August 28, 2018 Would $175 be a good price for it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 To spruce up your victorian parlor replica; perhaps. For smithing; No. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Skimmed my Sears Roebuck catalogs with no luck. Any Patent dates on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ericsg Posted August 29, 2018 Author Share Posted August 29, 2018 Dont know. Haven't seen it in person. Just pics. But they said there is nothing on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevomiller Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 If the price was cheap I’d buy it and double up the gearing via jack shaft to get a bigger air blast. But at that price no no no thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
