  1. I said its not going to be a museum piece so I can live with the repair.
  2. I thought the same thing especially considering it came out of the welding shop of a foundry. wouldn't have been a big deal for them to make up a simple mold and pour in house with a small ladle. either way I plan on using it not a museum piece so doesn't bother me if its not original. and best part was I couldn't complain about price. 400 plus pound anvil for free.
  3. has anyone ever seen an anvil like this? top half is forged (you can see the hammer marks under the tail in the pic) with a welded steel face. bottom half is definetly a casting. welded together at waist. another interesting trait is there is a long bolt which runs out the bottom (I didn't get a pic of that when I had it apart) which must have been put in before the bottom was welded to top. its 33 1/2" probably 34 when the horn had a point. face is 21x5 inches. unfortunately I got it from a welding shop and the face has several oxy-act gouges in it. I plan to fill in all the gouges in the top face and fix edges, so I can use it.
