Greenwood Collection of Blacksmiths Cones
While this is not a large collection it has a wide range of cones.
The cone to the far left with the eye bolt is very unusual solid cone that weighs about a ton.
The 1" lifting eye is just sufficient to lift it.
The tall cone which is about 5 feet has a "tong groove" along its entire length.
The machine in the foreground is an old hand crank tire bender.
In the background is a 300 pound Bradley "Compact" power hammer and a broken anvil that was used to demonstrate at a Blacksmiths of the Potomac conference.
The swage block to the immediate right on the floor is a rectangular Jock Dempsey block.
