I have a 100kg anvil. Thanks for all the information every. I'll probably grind of the edeges. I tried with a file and I didn't really get far.
This is a good gauge on Anvifire.

Mine says Yost I don't see any Yost like it but it looks a lot like those Prentiss vises, looks like it can be very handy
please stop reposting obvious, the large pics waste bandwidth, and most of our members pay ber Kb not per month, and its wasting my time having to delete them

Greetings 77,
The pin on the top should come out to allow the rear section to pivot. Great vise for uneven gripping.
Forge on and make beautiful things
Jim
Do you know if that pin is spring loaded, or how it doesn't come out with you pull it, it's really suck I'm trying to look at my options on how to move it. It's soaking in penetrating oil now.

Hi, I picked up this Yost vise it's 6" opens to 10" I got everything working has a broken mounting bracket. I've heard of Yost I can't find anything on dating or on this model # it's a 78, and I was curious on what that knob on the back is for looks like some sort of gig hooks to it. Any info would be appreciated thank you.

That's a fair price, If it still has good rebound and you have the cash I would get it, you don't trip over big arm and hammers everyday and they make a good Anvil

Kenny1960 What's your location? I have some good users in the Delmarva area of PA I'm selling for $2.5-3/lbs, ranging from 130-292lbs

I saw that today, Glad it went to a good home, I was thinking about getting it. Decent price, edges look, pits look bad but shouldn't affect the usage.

Would a992 steel make a good Anvil? I was looking at a piece of I-Beam that is 710lbs. The measurements are: Face is 5" thick and the web is 3" thick.
Thank you for any information you have.....
26 minutes ago, Ridgewayforge said:If the web is 3" across and the face is already 5" thick, then you could cut the flanges off, and have5 anvils of differen sizes; look at Brian Brazeal anvils; they are used with the narrow end and have diferent radii ground into the top face to use as a fuller. If its 710 lbs and a good shape, go for it. if you want more input, post a picture so we can see what you're talking about, Harlow

The 710lbs H beam on eBay right. Unless they changed much in the past 30 years my dad was I ironworker and said they were like butter they used to knock the corners in with a spud wrench. And for $710+ s/h from PA to CA I believe it's too much you could get a decent Anvil or load up at a scrap yard to build the multi teir Anvil mentioned. In case you don't post pictures it's listed all over craigslist on the east coast, blt, phl, de, nj.

I have a 97 lbs arm and hammer on a oak stump with the feet strapped it seems to be fine for light duty work, never went to town on it though.

That's a sweet little anvil

Thank you. It could've been hot pink with a face like that it was going in my truck.

Jake: I can't imagine a paint job so offensive it'd have any effect on using that beauty, sure might have to clear an inch two of "paint if you aren't doing anything useful" off the face. Lots of anvils were painted from the factory I believe Soderfors often came painted light gray or silver but that may have been customer request. NO matter, I wouldn't toss it out in the weeds either way. That is a SWEET looking beast.
The 101 Soderfors Mlinn77 just posted looks like factory paint. She's a beauty, almost pristine. I'll bet she'll make your ears ring through muffs and plugs.
This brings up another question does your 334 German pattern ring like a weapon of mass disturbance Jake?

I was told it was repainted, it looked fresh.

$400 for the Anvil, a little more then I usually spend but couldn't pass it up in that condition, that's a Fisher #5 vise. I'll PM you some pictures just so don't jam up the soderfors thread

My dad always said it's only worth what someone will pay. If your just a straight up collector money is secondary, size and logo is 1st, that's probably the 2nd or 3rd biggest arm and hammer found.
I think it's overpriced at 4g for a user, I'd buy it at $2500 but I'm cheap and I don't like the tourch/stinger marks even though they are small and probably irrelevant. I do suffer from Anvil envy but I completely agree with size being overkill.
Probably not the right place for this but since it was mentioned, unless the 2nd bidder bought it at the price he bid or we know what that 630 HB actually sold for its hard to use that as the "bar". The 2nd bidder had a chance to buy it now cheaper then his 2nd place bid so his original high bid is out the window, understand I'm not saying he wouldn't of paid if he won, but I know I got caught up in the action and felt relieved when I got outbid.

Ok thank you, I was guessing early to mid 1800's too, I wasn't sure if the bronze Bell was a tip off. I've said it before but I'll say it again, the English made a stylish vise.

Maybe a Collectors Item? $5 a pound
in Anvils, Swage Blocks, and Mandrels

Looks like someone went to eBay for there price, it's broken and not a top name pass on it unless he wants to give it to you.
