Thanks for all the contributions everyone. In this age of online trolling, it's refreshing to find a bunch of decent like-minded individuals. I'll post an update once I get my hands on it and clean it up. Hopefully it's a good one  my fingers remain crossed

Rightio Thanks for the help guys  I'll let you know how it goes

No UK buddy

Overall Length: 34"

Top face width: 5.5"

Height: 15"

I imagine it's going to be over 300lbs but not sure how to work it out

Ok so if it isn't a Sisco, it still looks in fairly good nick, is it worth going to look at or should I wait until I see something else like a brooks that looks in good nick?

First off thanks for the responses everyone much appreciated. Black Frog, I don't have the anvil yet but I'll be able to see it next weekend. What would I be looking for on the underside to make a positive ID as a Sisco?

Hi all, this is my first time posting here so I'm not all too familiar with how this works but I'll dive right into it.

So around 30 miles away from me, there's someone selling an anvil which they say a farrier told them might be a Sisco. It's a bit rusty and I can't see any makers marks etc. but I'm going to go and see it next weekend. So my question is this; what secondary characteristics would suggest it's a Sisco anvil rather than something else?

Also as a follow-up, how would you guys transport an anvil? I don't have a van or a truck just a piddly ford fiesta. I imagine I could displace the weight with wooden boards but just wondering if anyone has better solutions

Thanks in advance for any help
