First one is a 200# Hay-budden. Replica started out as a piece of scrap l-3/4" A-36 plate.
Second is a 398 lb. Soderfors stampted 1918. Replica started out as a piece of scrap 1-1/2" A-36 plate.
More pictures
The scale replicas were made by hand using track and hand cutting torches, disc grinder, belt sanders both portable and stationary, various files and flux-core mig. Lots of hand sanding too. No kind of milling involved.
As you can see, I've had them for a while. It's only been recently that I've learned to post pictures, so here they are.
Both anvils were my Dad's RIP, who blacksmithed for over 50 years.

The hydralic repair shop across the highway from my shop was having a close out sale. Got the ford truck axles for 2 bucks each. The cylinders rams a buck each. Not too bad I guess. The picture was taken last summer. I'm just now learning how to post pictures, so I'll be posting more later.

Here's some more engineer hats, choice of solid blue denium or stripes. These have the solid back, not the adjustable plastic 'one size fits all' type. I bought one of each. Nice caps.

Sir, you may find this of interest. The author really gets into the geometry of the various styles. There's an awful lot there to digest. Awesome reference material.

My anvils and scale replicas

Well, working night shift in a heavy steel fabrication shop with no bosses around made it all possible. I'd arrive at work in the afternoon, they would give me a turnover, do what was required with plenty of time left over to work on my anvils. Otherwise it would have never been possible.
