Jim Munn Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Hi Folks, I picked up this tall boy as part of a guys shop i purchased. There are no discernible makers mark i can see. It’s 55” tall and 16” across at the base. It does have the slit in the side. What can you tell me in regards to possible maker, age? Thanks!

Frosty Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 It came through fine. Nice mandrel. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 I saw it too; just no traction on the questions. You might find one listed in old smithing catalogs but as the designs and even the molding forms tended to be used for decades it would be hard to set a hard date to it.

Judson Yaggy Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 Nice cone. Sometimes they are marked with lettering down the inside of the tong groove. If I recall, some of the Greenfield, MA made ones were that way. If no makings (like yours) best bet is searches of the advertisements from old trade journals to look for matches.
