"My name is Steve Maglinger from Bowling Green Ky. and after seeing last night's episode of American Restoration I noticed the grill that you had was very similar to the one I have on my front porch. It has been used by my wife as a plant holder for 20 years and after looking at it, I see that it is a real Buffalo. I have sent some pictures and was wondering how to get some information about it, such as age, worth and if you new of anyone looking to purchase this item. I was going to put it on eBay but have no idea of the value of it. Thanks for any expertise you can give me."
"Hi Jim-----It's a blacksmiths forge----the Broilaire evolved from it by painting it bright colors and adding wheels and a handle-----I couldn't make out the embossed name on the gearbox---it should spell out BUFFALO FORGE CO----it also may be a copy made by Champion Blower and Forge Co----Regards---Dave"
Thanks, Dave. And if anyone is interested in buying Steve's forge, drop me a line.
