6040 Blacksmith Shop is a Castle set released in 1984. It includes a smithy with a blacksmith, a Crusaders guard and a horse.
Details
This was the earliest Castle set to feature a civilian minifigure. The set depicted a bare-chested blacksmith, who wore an exclusive brown cape piece as an apron. His shop was part of the early modular Castle wall piece collection, and could connect to other walls by way of technic pins, to form a larger custom Castle creation.
The Blacksmith Shop featured a red forge and chimney, and a blue anvil. A black horse was included, as well as two wheels and several parts to make a small cart. The shop was guarded by one Crusaders guard, who had a Crossed Axes-crest on his torso. The instruction sheet for this set included an alternate instruction, to re-build a small tower and horse-drawn cart from the pieces.
Other blacksmith shops
In 2002, a very different LEGO set was released using the same name. 3739 Blacksmith Shop from the "My Own Creation" collection bears no resemblance whatsoever to this earlier set.
The latest set that contained a blacksmith was 10193 Medieval Market Village from 2009.
