Title: Help Please?...
Post by: jermcramp1 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.
