ANTIQUE BLACKSMITH FORGE BLOWER CHAMPION NO.400 BLOWER AND FORGE

Description

Know what you are getting!   What you get is the blower, its stand, firebox(forge), duck work, dump valve and cap.   I am 88 years old and this belonged to my Grandpa, who died in 1940.  He used it on his farm in west Texas and did no commercial work.  The only power used on it was elbow grease.   I would believe that grandpa purchased around World War One time frame.    It went to my dad who had his own so he never used it and it was in storage.   I got it when my dad passed away and has been in storage since.  I put some gear lube in it and it turns and sounds good.  It needs to be cleaned up and new gear lube, some bolts replaced, the wood on the handle, a base for firebox  and a good home.  See the pictures.   Pick up in Grants Pass, Or.   Any questions contact me.   If you have friend that might be interested, please let them know.   Thanks,  Tex
