Does anybody know where I can find used numerical branding irons. Fire heated would be prefered to freeze. If this type of post is not allowed I apologize. I have searched the web, and only find new sets.
Used numerical branding irons?

Try posting an ad on Craigslist stating what you're looking for and you might be surprised at the responses. I'd focus on the cattle states obviously.
Good luck.

Estate sales, auctions - you see some from time to time. I have never bought any. If I needed one particular one now, I would build it. The ones I have are mostly heirloom (not for sale) and fixed to other characters.

Thought about making some? 1s, 4s, 7s are generally made from flat bar or angle scraps. 2s and 5s are made from combinations of flat bar/angle and pipe scraps. 3s, 6s, 8s, and 9s are generally made from scrap pipe.
Weld multiple characters to a single flat plate and lighly grind them to the same height to ensure even branding.
These are great projects for ag students in classroom shops.
