Hello, I'm new here out of curiosity about an anvil I picked up. A knowledgable friend says it's a Columbian so I'm just looking for second opinions and more info. I would guess it weighs about 30 or 40 lbs. I found a few pictures of similar looking anvils but none with the "S" mark on the side opposite the triangle C mark. So I'm wondering - is it a "real" anvil (as opposed to a cast iron shape) and if so, what types of work was it meant for? It's next to a 10" wide woodworking vise in one of the pictures for size reference. Thanks

Picked up these two bench vises when I bought my anvil. The Columbian is pretty self explanatory and I feel like $25 wasn't a bad price. As for the other, I can't find a mark or stamp or raised casting on it anywhere! Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Well hello again all, I just got a lead on a, from what looks to be, pristine (from pic) Columbian anvil close to me. Not sure on the weight but I am guessing around 200ish? The dimensions are 27.75" x 11" x 4.75" ish. Based on the rough calculator of L * H - 110 = M, that puts it around about 195ish give or take. He is asking for $450. Might be able to get it for a bit less. I know these are cast steel and have heard they are great anvils. From the pic, this looks decent. I am driving by his house tomorrow and was thinking of stopping and checking it out. Is this worth the trip/effor

I found this USA made columbian leg vise at a garage sale. I paid 25 CDN$ for it and it functions beautifully. A little bit of wear on the jaws but that aside I'm looking forward to cleaning it up and mounting it in my shop!

So I am currently living in Hawaii and decided to get into knife making. I started to look around for an anvil and to my surprise found this one on c list. The guy I got it from said he found it in a ravine behind a stable out here. It was rusty and he tried cleaning it with coke and a wire brush. I got it for $100 took it back to my place and cleaned it up some more to try to identify it. I found an upside down triangle with what looks to be a degraded C in it on one side and an M on the other. This leads me to believe it is a Columbian Anvil from Cleveland OH. Was it worth the price I paid? -
