LOL. Good thing I have green red and yellow machinery at least I am kinda matching lol. I think I should paint my forge red and my belt grinder is yellow lol.

There was about 20 people lined up, I live about 6 miles from his place. I don't know how many other people have showed but he still had another forge but the blower needed redone and some other tools. Small vice etc.

Yes indeed.

West coast Washington lol!! Things out here are crazy!!!!!

Screamer because of what I paid for the whole lot. the forge/blower/10 pair of tongs/4 hardys/post vice/big vice/coal/saw blades and 2nd anvil etc. I got a screaming deal on all the stuff together. 150 for the that anvil setup yeah decent deal but it was part of the package and the package together was the screamer.

I agree, I still think there is plenty of use for it has 4 hardy tools and the pritchel hole. I got a screaming deal on all of this stuff, Broke down that anvil/stand and plate cost me about 150.00 of the lot.

Here is a picture of the face. Still has some room to work. For sure daswulf I agree 100% I am still having a friend headed to the Midwest look around for a big pristine anvil. That I can put on a stump and really hammer on.

Here are some bigger images of them. Thanks guys. I can see that there is probably 2 more number on the Trenton under the welded part. I cant see them but there space for 2 more numbers the same size but don't want to cut it off and these are going to be working pieces.

Black frog you are spot on. I do see a faint diamond and some marks on the big boy that are Trenton. the small one has no marks I rolled it around and could not see anything. daswulf yes half the face in ground down and a new self was built because of piece that that broke off in early stages of life. The flat piece on the stand is from a rail car that was used to compress the springs its a big flat piece that will work great I think when I need a flat plate to pound on. I also took another picture of the other side of the vice.

Hey everyone my name is matt. I have been making stone knives for about 10 years. I decided to dive into the steel world. I am 30 and decided to start blade smithing and black smithing. Been hunting for months and hit a mother load find today. Hoping some of you guys can help me ID my anvils and more info on the vice. Ok the vice is a Columbian and had the Letter M stamped on it. No other numbers. I can find lots out about the M2 AND M3 but I think this one is earlier and is also fixed with no swivel. First anvil on the stand has 155 for the first part and I think A 427 is the second part. The small anvil has 75 then 7704 on it. Also scored champion blower and forge, 4 hardies and lots of tongs and etc and also a pole vice but it doesn't have any marks or number on it. It can be seen in the pics. Any help would be great and looking forward to learning more and a few new trades.
