Did the same thing here, apparently that's what happens when looking for that first anvil. What few anvils out here posted on CL are usually gone the same day. After I bought some RR rail, a couple anvils from Ebay, a chunk of steel drop, my anvil fever was good. What happens the next couple of months, of course two Hay Buddens pop up for sale less than 20 minutes away. Both guys did the same thing, posted on a Thursday to get some interest for the weekend. I even waited until the next day, and both guys said the same thing... 'Someone was supposed to come pick it up yesterday but nobody showed up.' The Vulcan doesn't ring like a Peter Wright, more like a dull clank like when you're banging on a cast iron bench vise.

I would buy it

Can't wait for the results. Screen name is awesome BTW, is that what the family calls you??

Where did you get that stand from??

If anyone has time, trying to find out if my 138lb. HB #56672 was made 1899 or 1900? Also, a 74lb. ACME either #136302 or A136302 stamped in the same spot? Thanks, Dave

I like it, thanks for sharing

That's the thing, we're moving back home to Hawaii which is why I bought a few anvils now. They will be in containers with our household goods/personal property shipment, not being shipped by freight/UPS/FedEx. Anyways, figured out they all would fit in a 12"x24"x24" box. Just need to find some scrap 2x4's or pallets and make a few. I wish I knew about this awhile ago. On average we move maybe once every two years. This will definately make moving in/out much easier...

I'm pretty sure it is pressboard, so I will try to get more 2x4's to work with. I like the storage shelf idea, so no better time to learn to make boxes like now. I was wondering about laying on the sides, I was advised that as well. Would it matter if they laid on their sides for a few months? Thanks for the help, Dave

Do you know how the anvil broke, as in the movers packed it in the container bare?
