This old rusty horse shoe has been in my scrap pile for a while. Wasn't sure what to do with it but wanted to preserve it and show off the craftsmanship of the farrier that forged it who knows how many years ago. This shoe was hand forged from wrought iron with a couple forge welds. Wrought iron is often misidentified and hasn't been produced in the US since 1969. Real wrought iron shows a grain like structure much like a piece of wood and has way more character compared to the modern steels produced today.

Civil War era Fisher anvil added to the collection. This was the first logo used on Fisher anvils, and was made in Trenton New Jersey between 1860-1870ish. The logo very much resembles the breastplates used by union soldiers during the American Civil War. At only 50lb this was not a very common size making even more rare. This one is definitely coming in the house.

So nice and cool outside figured I fire up the forge for a bit. I'm thankful for any day I can get in the shop these days so I'll gladly take it.

Got this old lever action forge back in working condition. It was all seized up from sitting for who knows how long. Blower wasn't blowing, ratchet wasn't ratcheting. But with a little effort it's ready to work again. I like the old stuff because they were simple and built to last. Still not able to forge much but I have been cleaning up and repairing some of these old tools to free up some space in my shop. If anyone needs a forge let me know I have a few available.
