Stake seems to be made with a ball bearing. It’s around 3” in diameter.

Thanks for the reply, Thomas. I have welders in my family, though none that specialize in anvil repair, so I’d have to see what they think.

I’m in Canada, but it’s actually a shorter and more profitable trip for me to sell it in the US if I deliver. 

I was left this 165lb Hay Budden anvil with a homemade stake. I’m looking to sell it, but I know nothing about anvils. It clearly had some wear to the top (looks like a welded on plate) and a depression in the horn. I’m located on the New York border. Would it be worth a restore to sell? Or should it be sold as-is?

Any help would be appreciated!
