As far as determining the weight goes, you can always use a cheap bathroom scale. Anvils tend to weigh in the same range as people.
LOL!!!
Ok I'll giver a try..... -
The second is a fisher. Looks almost unused. How much it weigh?
Not sure....
But the face is 12 3/4" long
And it's 10 1/8" tall -
I just now got back here to check the replies. Thanks guys!!! I went back to my shop took some more pics and a video. Also I have another anvil can ya'll tell me what is? It's painted army green, I got it out of a "military machine shop repair trailer". I figured the paint acted as a sound deadner. It has S&S written on the tag.
The first two pics are of my large anvil, from the original post. The next two are of the military -
Some how I posted twice. Sorry guys

Hi guys
Im a new guy here and have a few questions. I was wanting to start making some things using a forge. I can weld and fab pretty good, Ive been doin it as a hobby since I was 12 or 13 now I'm 31. I have an anvil and not sure if its cast or wrought. It was my great great grandfathers. Is it worth trying to repair? And does anybody know who made it? Is it a Peter Wright? Can't find any markings..... I was wondering if anybody knew how many pounds it might be.. I know that's a lot of questions. But I'm really excited to Gettin started. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
PS the Hardy Hole is 1"
New guy need help identifying an anvil

Ok, thanks I'll keep that in mind.
I guess I'm gonna start out with that Fisher.
I sure would like to get that Trenton top fixed. It still has good rebound on the part of the face that is still there.
I watched a video on utube, Where a guy and used 7018 rods to build up the face after heating it too 300 degrees. After grinding it flat with an angle grinder. Then he heated it up to 1500° and dunked it in the river, then he heated it one more time to 500° and dunked it again. Does any of this sound familiar?
