Matchlessantiques offers collectors and smiths this PLUMB blacksmith Cold Cut hardy. This hardie came right out of the old blacksmith shop. The hardie has a stamp "7/8" on it for the size hardie hole it fits, and "F.R.P." over an Anchor which was one of the trademarks for Plumb. The cold cut is in great condition with a clean cutting edge that may need just a light touch up. I am leaving that up to the buyer. Please take a close look at the pictures.
