  1. I’ll be going over to his house next week and I’ll get some pictures.
  2. Hey guys, I’ve been on here for many years (2008) but never needed to post...now I finally am making my first post. A buddy of mine got a lead on “some anvil in a barn” from a family member of an elderly gentleman who passed away. They told him it was heavy so I went to help him load it. It ended up being a Firminy four foot “pig” anvil. The scale I have only went to 450lbs and it was a little heavier, maybe 460-470lbs (it didn’t go all the way to zero once past 450). After I got home I was going to look it up in AIA but I can not find my book anywhere. I may have loaned it out and never got it back. For anyone with a copy, can you give me any details about the Firminy anvils? I don’t know anything about them. I’ve searched here and Google but could not really find anything. The anvil was in really great condition, I don’t think it ever saw much use. It had great rebound (around 90-95%), edges where near perfect, face had no sag, and both horns were perfect. With just a little clean up it would look spectacular. The last number for the year and weight was a little worn but it looks like the date is 1914 and the weight is 209kg. I left my phone at the house so I don’t have any pictures.
