Help Please?...
« on: June 14, 2012, 10:41:30 pm »
I found this GEM in my grandpas shed, I have never seen one of these before but I sure wish I had when I was smithing...

Anyone have any idea what you call it, where its made, and how much it might be worth?

Its rusty but everything works just fine.














I know some of you slightly cured and mellowed gents have seen these before... >:D

Hey Pappy you see them on ebay pretty often. Ron
If we can't help each other what is the point of being here?
