The Owl Blacksmith Shop, at 208 W. Rainey in Weatherford, Oklahoma, is a historic blacksmith shop. It was bought by Lee Cotter Sr. in 1913, from the "Attabury Boys" who had operated before, perhaps from as early as 1898.[2] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places listings in Custer County, Oklahoma in 1983. It has also been known as Lee Cotter's Blacksmith Shop.[1]
In 1983 it was still in operation, run by Lee Cotter, the son, who had been 6 years old when the place was bought.[3][2]
A 2008 survey of historic resources mentioned it being in the fourth generation of use, and it being located on the original U.S. Route 66.[4]
