Any more pics of this?? Or plans?

A few hours of work!!LOL!!

I'm guessing cast iron due to the edge damage, How do you plan to fix it?

from WIKIPEDIA

Meehanite is a trademark for an engineering process to make many types of cast iron. When a foundry advertises that produces "Meehanite Iron" this means the foundry is licensed by Meehanite Metal Corporation, initially of Chattanooga, Tennessee but now based in Mequon, Wisconsin. The Meehanite process includes a series of specific processing steps, which, when followed, will produce (according to Meehanite) cast iron with uniform soundness, consistent physical properties and dependable performance in service[1].

Meehanite metal specifications include a wide range of cast irons, including flake graphite types, ductile irons, austempered ductile irons, wear resistant irons, heat resistant irons and corrosion resistant types. Meehanite is not a specific alloy or material. While Meehanite lists all of these metal types in its grouping of specifications, all of these types of cast irons can and are made by non-Meehanite licensed foundries. Many of the types of engineering grades listed by Meehanite were discovered or developed by other companies

Frankly it's probably better as a display piece than an anvil.





Thanks for all the tech INFO!! WOW!!! I just gave $50 for it so no big loss. I thought it would be a historic piece!LOL!

Around 100 lbs! Haven't got it home yet. It's kinda rough but I'll fix it!LOL!It was a steal!

Most of the ones I have seen that said foundry on them were advertizing pieces. Any guess on size or weight?
Ken.

Thanks

Jose,
Did you ever get around to drawing up some plans for your forge? I know I'll gladly pay for a set as well as others!

Thanks
Mark

With some GENERIC BRAND TUNGSTEN! You get what you pay for sometimes.

700 too much for it all? It was in an original Model T shop that belonged to the guys grandfather. The grandfather died when he was 26 years old and was the stuff was never used again. I would have kept it just for that reason. But the guys had no interest in it. my luck

An original Champion 400 Blower with the forge pot and tuyere along with an Arm & Hammer 124lb and a Belknap 96lb anvil! My son is beside himself!

Might want to try 75 % Helium and 25 % argon for welding on thick nasty castings! 20 years welding cylinder heads and intake manifolds in winston cup shops.

Is $4 a pound a good price for a 95% Arm & Hammer 124 Pounder?

Thanks very much for all the info!

Mark

Possibly, We haven't got the deal done yet pending value.

What would be the best books or DVD's for my 14 year old son to sart out with?

Thanks

Mark

Hasn't been used since 1925 for only 5 years. Don't have pictures or weight yet!

Of an Arm&Hammer anvil that measures 24" x 10.25 x 3.75 and A champion blower and original cast forge pot from the early 1900's..
