Saw this example of a hardware anvil 6 months ago where I bought my Pw, its not a bad looking anvil a good size too. He would have taken $500 at that time.
These one have just started to be sold in Aust in all sizes called Gripwell, they don`t say where they are made but we can guess , this ones 100kg (220lbs) and called cast steel. They would have to take the award for the ugliness ASO.
I made the set second from the left after watching his video about 5 times, drawing out the reins took a bit with no power hammer thought.I tried to post yesterday on this topic but was not allowed.
Yeah these guys who have a bit of extra knowledge can sometimes be dangerous. I emailed him and he said its legit and that the Admiralty in UK wanted to buy it but could not afford it.? He should have said the PW came for the US no an American PW.
Hi Ausfire the anvil is on ebay anvils page 2 and its been sold in Ipswich their also selling other anvils.Yeah I emailed them and its not the one but they are still saying its a moses anvil dated 1660s
You are probably right, It was a big call to make, and if it is the same one its has a lot of use since the AIA photos, we will see if this one sells and what for.
At this stage I`m more than a little skeptical about it , the photos don`t show the other side with has the 5th foot or toe, you went over my head with your last replay
This anvil for sale in Australia (Queensland) starting at $4000.00 is being described as the very one on page 12 of Richard Postmans book anvils in America.Just wondered if anyone knew more, Richard Postman describes it as the oldest Smith`s Anvil in America. I`m confused.
