25 Pound Little Giant Power Hammer
This Little Giant (LG) is the Old Style with a modified frame to accept a new/used Sow/Die Block.
The LG serial #311 was first sold on 1-30-1910 in South Dakota to TJ Wilson. It was FULLY Rebuilt in 2010 by Steven Prillwitz who is the number 2 rebuilder behind only Sid Suedmeier (Mister Little Giant himself!).
New Parts used on rebuild:
New Babbitt Bearings poured
Brass Lined Wraparound Guide
Toggle Links, Arms and Pins
Main Spring
Die and Sow Block Keys
Treadle Rod & Bolt
Clutch Relined
1 H.P. 220 volt Motor
Motor Mounts
New Shims for Top Bearings and Guide
The LG has been upgraded with the Two Piece Die System which includes 3 sets of dies: Flat, Fullering and Texturing.
It also has been upgraded with grease fittings installed on the Clutch Fork Bolt, Clutch Collar and Foot Treadle Pin.
Since it has been in use here I have put around 250 hours on it. It runs just as smooth now as when I received it from Steven Prillwitz.
Some may ask why I’m selling such a great machine? I had upgraded to a larger pneumatic hammer.
This LG has been very well maintained since I took the Little Giant rebuilding class put on by Sid back in 2014.
Price: $5,500
Shipping is available at buyers expense. That would include a custom pallet, the one it’s sitting on is just for moving it around here.

J154
605 pound North German style double horn. This anvil has excellent rebound with a near glass smooth face. The edges do have some chips. This anvil have some repairs in the past with nickel rod. The repaired areas do appear to be done professionally and have held up very well. The feet under the horn have been shaved off a little bit with a cutting torch in the past, I imagine so it would fit a certain anvil stand. See pictures. No manufactures stamps that I could find. It appears this could be a cast steel anvil much like a S&S or a Swedish made anvil.

Weight: 605 pounds
Length: 43 1/4″
Height: 14 3/4″
Face: 6 7/8″
