I Forge Iron

anvil with an abused horn


Recommended Posts

found this locally, the horn has been well abused and there is a bit of edge damage on the table

marked as 3 0 4, cant see other markings on it, 3 handling holes

1.25" hardy a bit worn and I think a 5/8" pritchel.

going to test it in the morning.

I guess it is 340 lb.

 

if it rebounds ok I may get it and do what I can with the horn

From the photos it doesn't actually look too bad.  My big Hay Budden has a flattish spot near the cutting table, angled a bit towards the far side.  I've never found it to be a problem.  Some of those grooves you may be able to planish out.

If that thing is a reasonable price it looks fine to me. In negotiation I would be shocked by the abused horn and the general rusted state but internally I'd be happy out haha.

 

I wish I had an anvil that big and intact. Mine doesn't have a heel from where the hardy would have been (abused by a previous owner, my unlces, good guys but xxxx...).
