  1. I am actually looking for a bigger anvil than 170 cause theres a lot of agricultural machinery scrap lying around in my area that I can reforge, some of it is big and needs to be hammered on pretty hard.

    I dont think anvils are so common here, good new ones are extremely expensive, for example a German drop forged Ridgid Peddinghause 75kg (165lb) will cost you around $3500, that is about 2 times the cost in the US from my researches.

  2. Israel pre 1948 was governed by Great Britain, there were no American facilities as far as I know,

    my guess is that either someone brought it with him from America or it was purchased from a navy sailor from one of the ships that use to pass through our harbours at one time.

     

  3. Haha, my friend is from Haifa region actually, maybe he got it from a navy sailor passing by.

    And thanks for the date rustyanchor appreciate it, 1941-1943 WWII time anvil, that maybe explains the rough welding on the waists,

    I read somewhere that in war time they did not waste too much time on the finish
