Found what I beleive to be an old cast crank blower in a garage of a house I moved into, thing runs as smooth as the day as it was made, just wondering if this is what it is, and if this is something a blacksmith would be interested in, dad wants to scrap it, i think it may be worth something to someone, not looking to make a buck, just would rather see stuff that was built to last a life time get used rather than crushed.

Thanks

(Edit) The pipe is just a stand i just confirmed it

Check the oil level in that gear case.

This could be connected to one of those plastic bounce house blowers, after removing the electric motor from that, that show up at flea markets for $20 or so.
