I had to flip the side with the leg to get it all cause it was so long so that side took 2 dips. And now all the old paint,scale, and rust is gone. Rubbed it down with boiled linseed oil after each part was completed Thats my temporary tank just a regular storage bin and it has worked awesome so far

Took it apart and dipped it in the etank to remove all the rust and it looks alot better than it did in the previous pictures.

Found this vise for $50 on CL he didnt know anything about it and only has this one picture. Does it look to be complete? Its the only one listed right now and want to get it before its gone if it looks to be decent. Craigslist link removed

Im not really sure about the steel, the guy had a smaller forge and blower he sold a few weeks ago and the buyer took all of the stock so i picked through and took what was left. The round cutouts are very thick sheet steel and theres that heavy duty bar the rest is those smaller rods. There was only one forge so if i sell an anvil it will be just the anvil. I did notice it looked like there was grinder/file??? Marks on the edges

Thanks Im very excited!! now im trying to figure out how/ where to set everything up. Arftist what makes you think the anvil is repaired? I used a small ballpeen hammer and the thing bounced back and hopped all over the place like crazy. Maybe i checked it wrong but its seems to rebound back and ring better than the trenton i got a few days ago.

After 12hrs in the tank all the scale and 98% of the rust is gone. I still havent found the trenton markings... I did notice it looks like it sags or curves more to one side. Is that the side it was worked on more? -

Well i did some research and decided to try electrolysis to remove the rust. I guess only time will tell if i did it right but it seems to be working quite well. -

I will get it cleaned up and post some more pictures. I didnt notice any markings on or near the horn location but maybe after i clean it up something will show... the guy did say he found it burried in his yard so maybe it rusted off?? -
