If I hadn't just purchased an anvil, and weren't getting married in two weeks, I'd be all over that!

I don't mind giving a fair price for a good anvil but, this one is a bit to much.

Mark,

Thanks. I'm getting married next Saturday.

The CBA is having their periodic instructor training session on Saturday, and members are allowed to tag along to fill up vacancies. Mark Asprey is doing the training. When they announced it back in December, I heard the date, Jan 29, and said, "Doh! I won't be making that one!"

My linkhere is an incredible deal, especially if you know how to reface anvils

[ThomasPowers]

Well most of those look like Vulcans---not a good brand for extreme repairs and a lot of abuse going on there. (Shape of horn, shallowness of cutting plate and blockiness of heels is what I'm going by)

Might do ok at about half that price----of course his in good shape and work fine has no credibility after how he rated the anvils; looks like he doesn't know anything about smithing stuff; *or* he's trying to find buyers who don't know anything about smithing stuff.

I'd suggest a VoTech welding program pick them up and try to fix them; though after a lot of work they are still the bottom of the real anvil list in terms of quality.

Pay $70 for a 100 pound anvil; put $200 of time and rod into it to get an anvil worth about $150...enough incredible deals like that and I'll be attending your bankruptcy sale...

My linkwho knows, this might be an opportunity

My link THIS looks to be a good deal

[bajajoaquin]

Anvils don't come up for sale in San Diego very often, so I guess people think they're rare:


I am selling a 1940's Bohemian Anvil. It was originally installed on an American battle ship, weighing 330 Pounds and comes on a forged stand.

My linkthis one could have possibilities

[stewartthesmith]

My linkthis looks like a good deal

[stewartthesmith]

My linkthis is a supendous deal, a 900 pound bridge style anvil, for only 1200 dollars.............I think this is a bargain
the anvil is in missouri

[bajajoaquin]

A little pricey, but with negotiation, it could be a really good setup for someone:
Anvil and Forge

Actually, now that I look at it again, that's a nicer forge and blower than I have. Might be right, spot on.

Really not such a good deal:
Vulcan Anvil

A farrier's setup:
Farrier's anvil

A TFS in the SF Bay area:
TFS Anvil

A more reasonably-priced Vulcan in Hayward:
Vulcan

I think I've seen this guy's ads before. He ain't cheap, but there are some nice "travel size" anvils for sale:
Anvils

I'm tired of cutting and pasting, now that I found those in SF Bay Craig's List. If anyone in that area complains about not being able to find an anvil....
