“Here is the first example of a blacksmith (ever) and with him we see black minifigs hands for the first time (in the castle series) and a completely unique brown apron (which can also be a cape).”

“Blacksmith Shop, released in 1984 for the Lion Knights, was the first modular castle shop. It has a horse, a forge, an anvil, a blacksmith, and various tools. A Lion axeman guards the top of the wall. Rare pieces such as the brown cape and pitchfork can be found in this... More set.”

About Castle Lion Knights

The Lion Knights were released the same year as the Black Falcons in 1984. As with the Black Falcons, LEGO never officially named this faction for some time, although catalogues in the United States and Australia used the name Lion Knights while Canada used Lion Crest. The Lion Knights were in open conflict with the Forestmen, as shown by several catalog settings.

Lion Knights consists of 19 sets that ran from 1984 to 2014. As of today, 1584 Knight's Challenge is the most valuable Lion Knights set with an estimated new/factory sealed value of $6,443.
Summary
Castle Lion Knights Blacksmith Shop set 6040 was released in April 1984, retailing for $9, but has since been retired. New, unopened Blacksmith Shop sets are valued at $502, while used sets can be found for $45.
