The oldest piece of the collection is a Banksperrhorn (that is a special anvil) from the year 1740. The exhibition is being rounded off by the family chronicle of the smith's family Wildhack, complemented by documents, hiking map and illustrations about contemporary history.
Bellow, assistant's chamer
The bellow arranged at the loft of the building has been already recorded in 1833. The bellow has been restored in the spring of 1997 by personal contribution and is being used again since then at the forge. A documentation folder about the work of the bellow is being produced. This can be bought by interested visitors.
image author: Beckedorfer Schmiedemuseum The assistant's chamber that can accommodate two assistants has simple furnishings and also a sea chest. The sea chest is quiet extraordinary in its size and material. Research showed that this sea chest belonged to craftsmen on whaling ships around the time of 1830. That is the reason for the size as it had to accommodate personal items as well as tools. The pinewood for such sea chest was brought home by the whaling ships from their stays at the Lofoten as driftwood. Through the long storage of these woods in salt water it became waterproof, which made the wood more or less indestructible. At the inside of the sea chest is the date 1833.
