I Forge Iron

Mousehole added to the collection


Recommended Posts

Saw this for sale locally at a reasonable price - had a hunch it was something a bit special due to no pritchel hole etc. An hour after spotting it online, it was loaded from someones fathers shed into my van. I've only just gotten around to wire brushing it in the hope of finding some markings. Whilst it did take me a while or cleaning and searching, the old girl didnt dissapoint in showing me some ID, and confirmed what I already thought.

A nice old C&A Mousehole, putting it between 1795-1820 accroding to Postman. It's seen some work and a little bit of abuse, but generally in good condition, and still has great rebound at around 90% or more. Just shows that there are some out there, and sometimes in least expected places. Also bears the mark 'BA' on the foot, which I assume to be an inspection mark.

(I picked up the little 1 1/4 CWT John Brooks the same day)
