I recently posted about an anvil I acquired from a garage sale, and everyone answered my questions and help me figure out what I have. I really appreciate it! Thank you! I was wondering if there is anyone from my area, southwest lower Michigan? Thanks again! Clint

I was getting a rebound of between 5 and 6 inches when dropped from the aforementioned 10 inches. I really haven't cleaned the anvil much, I've brushed the dust off but what else can I do to clean it? Thanks for all the information!

So a buddy of mine works at the local factory and found a ball bearing, it's about 5/8". I tried dropping it onto the anvil from about 10", it doesn't seem to have a good rebound. Is the ball bearing too small or could it be the wrong type of material? Just wondering... I was also wondering if there were different classes or categories of anvil, and where might this one fall? Thanks for your time.

ChrisPTF: THANKS! That's pretty cool! Does that also mean it's likely to be a 210 lb. anvil?

Here is a picture of the bottom... B 210 A23460 is stamped on the front of the foot. Thank you all for help, I really appreciate it.

ThomasPowers, Thanks, I appreciate it! Where do I find a ball bearing? I was interested in the age and a more about the company that manufactured the anvil.

Thank you for your responses, I appreciate it. I will get some pictures of the bottom of the anvil tomorrow.

Bought this at a garage sale. Can anyone tell me what I've got? Please? I'd like to get going with hammer and tongs soon.
