Not much rebound with a hammer. Gonna grab a ball bearing and try it this weekend. 

I wire wheeled this Bay State anvil a bit. Top is still pretty rough. I can't tell if it had a table or not. Not sure if the face has or had a hardened steel plate. 

I have been going to the forge council meetings at the AG museum here in Jackson, Ms. Usually have a demonstrator and then we get in the forges. 

So I have been googling trying to find contact info for Richard Postman. Anyone have his contact info?

I wonder if I try and resurface it would that ruin any potential value? Would like to use it but I do not want to make matters worse.

Thanks for the response . It's in pretty bad shape. I was trying to figure out if it's worth trying to restore it or just clean it up and use it as a shop decoration.

Had a friend give me this Bay State anvil. It may be in the 80lbs range. Its condition is pretty bad. I have googled info on bay state anvils but haven't found much about them. Anyone one have any info?
