Hi Everyone
Im new to the forum thank you in advance for any information you all can provide me with. I have been searching for the better part of a month for an anvil for my little brother as an xmas present. He recently got a house with a very nice barn and wanted to start blacksmithing. He has a small make shift anvil from a RR track but wanted something better. The only thing I new going into my search was to make sure the anvil had a nice ring and was steel. I picked one up for him today that I think will suffice, however I wanted some input from knowledgeable people.
It weighs 283lbs including the wooden base. The dimensions are
25L, 25W, 11L
Only marking on it are the numbers 1 3 13
There looks to be some sort of insignia on a side but it appears to be faded long ago. I have included pics as well as a video so you guys can hear how it sounds.
Thanks again for any input you may have. I hope I got him a nice one.
