25# Little Giant in S. Indiana -- can anyone help me out ???

[Phil Dwyer]

Man, I wish I knew someone in the southern Indiana area that could secure an extraordinarily priced "Little Giant Tripphammer 25# Blacksmith 1930s working". Any volunteers? You can see the bugga on fleabay. Hope someone scores it, if I can't. :thumbup:

I know a guy or two in Indiana...not bladesmiths, but car guys know how to move stuff too...drop me a PM with info and I'll see if I can see if one of them would be willing to help...

Barkes Knife Shop is in Edinburgh, IN

Also blades&grace is in SW IN

You could try to contact them and see if they can help.


Edited to add:

Richard Lowe (Shankmaker) on KnifeDogs is located in Terre Haute, IN to add another option too.

Guys you are too much! Thanks for all the ideas. I'm going to have to pass though. I do hope someone can take advantage of it. Just a day left and no bids yet. Someone should get in touch with the guy!

I just moved a 25 pound Murray a while back. You can to it with a pickup truck or trailer and a 4000 pound cheapo engine lift extended to the 2000 pound notch to get you some more room and some logging chain. It may sound funny to say that it ONLY weighs like 900 pounds, but that is very light as far as hammers go.

It looks like this one could be had for $500. Dang, I wish I was over there, but Hawaii's just a wee bit too far. Hope some one scores it!

Thanks for the heads up Phil!
