[TheForge] Little Giant prices

[John Chobrda]

    I thought some of you might be interested in the price lists I came
across while going thru the file cabinet in the shop office today. The
shop has been in operation since the late 1800's and nothing gets thrown
away. First price list is dated January 1, 1942. The prices are as
follows, all are for hammer with 110 or 220 volt single phase motor:
25 Lb.    $242.00
50 Lb.    $374.00
100 Lb.    $655.00
with 60 cycle 2 or 3 phase motor
250 Lb.    $1326.00
500 Lb.    $2240.00

The next price list was dated June 1, 1976. Hammers same as above.
25 Lb.    $2,919.40
50 Lb.    $3,962.40
100 Lb.    $5,451.60
250 Lb.    $10,602.60
500 Lb.    20,230.30

I kind of like the 1942 prices myself.
