Bronze Yew Forge Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 the anvil on the far right is one i will be bying. Around 118# pounds getting it for 245$(Which is the cheapest I have found in a 7 hour drive radius) I am thinking it is a mousehole? The seller said he cannot find any marks on it, but I will look when I get it. Just from looking at it what year do you think it is, and did I do good? It is a 6 hour drive away.

njanvilman Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Without a better picture to go by, I am guessing it might be an early straight horn FISHER. It will be interesting to see what you have once you get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomasPowers Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 ask about the ring; a Fisher will go "thwap" where a Mousehole should go "ting" The fisher might be the better bet if you will be working with neighbors close by...My main shop anvil is a Fisher and I have a number of other brands to choose from.
