I'd have to find another scale.  I can't really make out the numbers for the weight.  The best I can do right now is use my estimate, the dimensions, the book mentioned, and your thoughts.  I'm not a blacksmith, and unfortunately I don't even have a garage at the moment, so I'm not particularly equipped to do much else.  If it's worth at least $400 I suppose that's what I'll take.

I was not getting a reading with the anvil alone.  After that, the next option appeared to be to temporarily hold it and subtract my weight.

Some inferences can be made based on the results.  At a weight of ~125lbs + Anvil, the scale errored.  The scale has a maximum of about 300lbs.

I didn't intend on keeping the anvil long.  The only scale I had available was the one I used.

Additionally, based on the material and the specifications, some math can be done to determine approximate weight.  Along with all of your input, I feel confident the weight range is correct.

I am currently located in Lincoln, Nebraska.  I've had an offer of $400 from someone around 2 hours away and he'd like it today if possible.  If anyone would like to make an offer before then, I would be happy to take it into consideration.

Well, I could lift it to some degree, but not standing and in my arms.  I could have someone help me lift it to my arms and weigh it on the bathroom scale, although I imagine it might be a bit difficult.  I will go ahead and try it.  If it were ~175lbs, would there be any interest from anyone for purchase?  Also, based on the images would you consider the condition good, fair, or something else?

Also, I attempted with a bathroom scale and it gave an error regardless of who held it.  It maxed out the scale, so that might not be helpful.

The measurement includes horn to end, so 27.5 in from horn tip to anvil end.  The horn itself is, in fact, 11 inches.  I suspect it would then fall into the 4.25 in x 17 in with 11 in horn.  Especially considering my estimated math put the weight at ~177 lbs.  Would you say that it would be a fair assessment to assume it falls into the 175lb category?

Thank you for the help.  Is anyone familiar with or have a Hay Budden anvil with similar dimensions?  Based on some, albeit estimated, mathematics, it might weigh around 150-152lbs and up to 177-180lbs.  Does that sound like a typical weight value for a Hay Budden anvil of this age and size?

If I provided dimensions would that be helpful in determining weight?  I cannot lift it myself, and it's difficult to lift even with two people.  I've attached an image with estimated dimensions.

Hello,

I'm trying to get as much information as possible on a particular anvil.  I did my best to take some images (which I've provided).  I was hoping you all might help me identify as much as possible about it?

Thank you in advance!
