Small 12 inch Industrial Swage and Stand:
12" square by 4" thick.
Stand 11.25 tall
This is a beautiful pair that looks brand new.
The surface finish should be studied by current makers.
THIS is what as-delivered blocks used to look like.
Neither piece has any manufacturers marks. However, the stand and the style of the block is very similar to Noyes Foundry, Green River blocks.
A shortened version of the stand shown on their 1894 catalog listing would be a perfect match.
The diagonal flat bar slots are similar to many later style blocks that are currently unidentified.
