That looks to be green, right Tom?
That there is a blower off a drill rig, right?
Thanks

I think my Canady Otto blower was originally black. At least that's the color I re-painted it. It is a hand crank model. I picked up an electric Canady Otto blower at a swap meet a few years ago, as I figured it would be an authentic upgrade for my Canady Otto Forge! The electric blower was also black.

Brought this home today. Once wiped off and set in the light, it's red with bright gold lettering. Thanks guys.

Also brought home a 166# Fisher :-) with a flat top. I mean FLAT!
