Non existent, as you know, since I live not too far from you. I went on vacation in New England and it was tool heaven, the stuff was everywhere. Next time I go back I'll bring a truck and lots of extra cash.

Here is a very blurry photo. Can anyone tell exactly what it is?

Thanks! I'm very happy with it. I searched for an anvil for months, and missed out on some lesser ones. It all works out in the end.

15, so 150 pounds, but actually weighs in at 158

Here is an anvil I picked up recently. It is a 160# Fisher. My research shows it was made in 1942. Is there any meaning to the 'D' and hash marks on the base? So far I have just made a fork with it. I'm waiting for a forge and to finish setting up my shop area before any bigger projects.

Rough life was in reference to the rust mostly. The screwbox is in pretty good shape. It turns smoothly and locks up tight.

Here's one I picked up a couple weeks ago. it looks like it led a tough life. Any idea on maker or age? I'll be working on a mount for it this weekend since I don't have a bench I can easily mount it to. Edit: The rusty one, not the blue one
