Farmall Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 And was wondering if anyone could give me some guidance on value and maybe maker. I know it's old as it has no pritchel, and has damage to the edges, and no markings. It weighs in right at 164 pounds. Would $200 be too much? How about 300? I honestly have no clue about the cost of these older anvils. Thanks for any help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Ball bearing test would be mandatory; how badly do you need it? $1 to $2 a pound is *MY* range for anvils but I have enough to work on and so tend to lowball prices for other anvils so I can pass them on the students. If you don't have an anvil and that ones passes the test I would think that US$200 would not be a terrible price. I would not go top dollar as it is damaged and worn. If I had to do a pre 1820 impression I might go up a bit more as it would fit it and be a sizable anvil for that period! (you sure 164#?)

Farmall Posted May 25, 2015 Author Share Posted May 25, 2015 First, thank you thomas. Second, as to the weight, that's what I was told. But I swear I see 1 0 17 on the side of the bottom photo which would make 129. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Yup no weight is a "true weight" till it's from a calibrated scale. Used to drive me crazy that an Auctioneer would say "large anvil" in their ad and then when I get there it's 100 pounds...or less! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
