Just for the sake of conversation... it is very interesting to me, that no matter what search you do, Nothing seems to come up on these... Searching ASO vises,,,,, and not one even remotely looks like it... the Whole in the side should be telling of something, both have the same keyed type hole.... and neither yours or mine has any vise like faces. I thought maybe a pipefitter, wagon maker, something off the wall... But have not found anything even remotely like it... form fit or function.. hmmm

Thanks for the replies, It has worked well for the kids to beat on a little and play with the old coal forge. We really just wanted to be sure that it wasn't some priceless artifact that they were destroying. :-) I will continue to research and see if I can find anymore info, He had a $365 price tag on it. So, I assume even though it is an ASO, I assume it has some sort of antique value or rarity. Who knows with him though, he all kinds of cool old stuff.

Can anyone tell me what kind of anvil this is? A friend of mine was an antique dealer and he passed about two months ago. His wife asked me to find out for her. Haven't weighed it, but would think it is in the 30-40# range. Any ideas?
