Welder2

Thanks for sharing your story. I will leave the welds on there. Everyone here has been so helpful and I really do appreciate all the responses

Hey thanks I've been welding 33 years now. Strictly TIG the past 15 mostly stainless and monel. I definitely will not be grinding on face or horn just don't like the sketchy stick welded numbers on the side. But want to be extremely careful to not take away any more of the manufacture marks. Thanks for the suggestion on the gifts. I for sure wanted to do something nice for them

Thanks I thought it was a good deal. I offered 250 but he insisted 200 as it was his step dads who passed a few years ago and he wanted to give the money to his mom. I appreciate all the help I'm glad I was pointed in the direction of this forum. In your opinion do you think I should grind off the three numbers or whatever it is someone welded on where the makers mark is. Thanks for the help

I did the dusting on it and the 9 is pretty much it. I do think there is a zero also that looks to be maybe the third number

Hello thanks for the information. The color change is probably due to the fact that I took the pictures when I started to clean the anvil up. There was some paint on it plus it had rust and something else I don't know what it was. I will attach more pics since it is cleaned up pretty good now. Still want to do more but it's not to bad. There looks to be a 2 under the manufacture name I'm thinking is the weight. There is also a mark on the waist that looks like a c on its side. On the front foot I can make out what looks to be a 9 but that's all I can tell. Thank you guys for all the help. I paid 200 for the anvil.

Thank you for the reply. Can you tell what the stamping is supposed to be ,maybe the year and what would be a good price to pay for it. Sorry I got so excited that someone knows about this anvil I forgot some information on it. The anvil weighs 248 lbs the face is 5" x 19.25" it's 12" tall and 32" from tip of horn to I think it's called the heel

Hello I'm new here and need help identifying an anvil. From doing some home work it seems to be a forged steel as it has a nice ring and good bounce. I don't believe there is a top plate welded on either. Some one put some weld over what looks to be some stamping and the stamping I can see I have no idea. I emailed a guy from how forge and he said this is an awesome site that may help me. I do have pictures that I will send also. Thank you for any help
