Thomas, looks to be exactly like the "tall primitives" photos on Anvil-fire. I have seen several of these "footless" anvils from a friend who visited Europe once, and they are by far as old as this one is advertised as. If dated anvils from the 1600's have feet (I have seen several also), ones without feet are just as old if not older wouldn't you say? If you have seen medieval and Renaissance anvils, feel free to post pictures of them as others might want to view them including myself. Either way still a truly unique anvil, I might have to go for it myself!

It is a German Trenton

Thomas, Please post a picture of the sides of your anvil so I can take a look.

It is an old english anvil marked GREEN

I would check it with another scale, I picked that up myself, it cant be that heavy.
-
Kashmire, Who did you buy that from? I think you bought it from me, I sold one just like it for that amount. If so, I picked that anvil up myself (barely) and it weighed around 230 lbs? And yes it is an early Fisher.

Just curious, I got my tetanus shot the other day, Lasts around 10 years, how many have gotten theirs?
-
I think you guys need to spend less time complaining about anvil collectors, a little less time complaining on this forum, and a little more time looking for them and maybe then you will find one!

I currently have a 350# Fisher listed under the TAILGATING section for $925.00....If your source even wants to give me half of your estimate, I will be happy to take $2000 for it! :)

He has collected these over a couple years in the SC/NC/TN lines. Unfort. Many of them are in bad shape, and the ones that are nice or rare, are not for sale.

100% a Trenton, Nice looking anvil, and not too bad of a price either.
-
It is a Columbian

The yugos of the anvil world!

Highlander you must be a Republican the way you twisted what I said. All I meant was that they are very rare collectors pieces, and if you think they are just a tool they are not.
-
These 4 anvils cost more then a lot of people's entire shop. They are strickly for collectors. I would be afraid to even hit them with a hammer as well!
-
Here they are...
Smallest Trenton ever found, 24 pounds
Small 35 pound Soderfors
RAREST ANVILS... Pair of 25 pound arm and hammers. 25 pounds is the smallest weight they made. Both are in mint condition. And the part that makes them even rarer is they have CONSECUTIVE serial numbers 51736, 51737. Wont find something like this ever again. -
I will post pics tomorrow once I get them out in the sun for some pictures. For everyone saying church window anvils are rare, they are not. I have a picture of a guy in Europe with about 60 of them in his yard.

By "early iron age anvils", Do you mean anvils with no table?
-
For all you anvil collectors and smiths out there...Whats the rarest anvil you have actually seen or heard of? Yes there is obviously a 900+ pound Hay Budden out there somewhere, and an 11 pound Hay Budden just sold on ebay for $3600. Ill post my find in a couple of days!

I am not sure of the EXACT weight, but Mengel and Green have around a 803# Hay Budden, so it is not the largest, but certainly up there!
