Hi there! I just bought an anvil over the past weekend and I was wondering if Anyone has any information about the state of the anvil and maybe if I can go ahead and start forging on it or if it needs some repairing before I can do so. From what I can tell it’s a 1907 Fisher. The eagle if there was one is certainly gone from the pitting. The guy I bought it from said it was buried in sand out in Louisiana. I haven’t put it on a scale or been able to find a weight marking but I’m assuming it weighs somewhere in 300 lbs range. It’s about 29” long and 14” tall. I’ve already put it through a 12 hr electrolysis with a weak lye solution just to get some of the rust off which did pretty well as you can see from the original picture on the stand but I don’t want to go any further without some good advice on what to do next. Thanks and cheers.
New anvil, new smith.

Thanks for all the advice! I’m not one to give up on something when it looks bad so I’m going to clean it up best I can and see what I can do on it. I’ll update you with progress as it comes.
