Cavpilot2k Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 So I have to clean it up still (just a little wire brush), but here is the Trenton I picked up last week. Based on its size, I thought it was heavier, but it weighed in at 190 even. It is 30.5 inches long! Nice edges and excellent condition. I haven't found the serial number yet because I haven't cleaned it, so I can't date it (I don't have AiA anyway). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VoldemarDemid Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Hello! Thank you, I'm very happy! My dream anvil, it's North German style with maker's marks... For example, "forget me not", or others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich_c Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 Since today will be the only “nice” day in NJ this week, I finished cleaning up my anvil stand and test fit my 80-pound Holland anvil on it. That’s my 6-year old son in the backround of the third picture. He was supervising my work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NicZa Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 I read somewhere that you guys like pictures so here are the best pictures I could find of mine. It's a Lokomo A150 (weight 150kg, ~330 pounds) It's probably the closest I will ever get to my dream anvil. I'm so happy to have found it, and really lucky to find it in such a good condition and for a really good price (I guess price is subjective). That size is quite rare even here in Finland, or at least they don't change owners often. That's the only one I've seen for sale in 7 years, and I'm frequently on the hunt. // NJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim86 Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 Nice anvil NicZa, ive never heard of Lokomo, where are they made? Nice fire rakes you made aswell. Jim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicZa Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 Thanks Jim, they where made in Finland from 1915-1970 by Lokomo Oy. Lokomo Oy was originally a machine shop manufacturing train locomotives, but began making other things such as anvils, churchbells, ship anchors and propellers to increase revenue and sales. // NJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenny O Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 A friends Peter Wright. If my math is correct, it is 332 lb.s. He may need to sell it soon, as well as the the hardy tools, What is the ballpark price per lb for PW "solid wrought" anvils? Thank you for any and all information Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M3F Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 Nice anvil. I sold a 308lb PW last year for $800 in NY so I would guess he should get something north of that. I had it for sale for quite awhile though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jlpservicesinc Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 RichardC you can't go wrong with the Holland anvil.. I had seen them used at an abana conference and they held up great to new people forging and missing the hot metal hitting the anvil..

Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 Can't beat Holland's customer service either. I can't control the wind, all I can do is adjust my sail’s. Semper Paratus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlpservicesinc Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 True, true.. the owner is a huge supporter of Makers.. Anybody who forges really.. A truly amazing person..

JHCC Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 Back when Holland was first starting to dabble in anvils, they joined IFI as “foundryguy”, and we talked them through the pros and cons of their initial designs. It’s great to see how far they’ve come and all the great things they’re doing now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wirerabbit Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 Was gifted this nice little (75lbs?) AIW (Alamo Iron Works), a Texas born anvil. Sorry for the quick picture. I'll do some wire brushing and take some better shots. The horn is more flat than conical, and the heel is quite beefy compared to a London pattern, but should make a nice narrow-faced addition to my shop. I do not have a copy of AIA, so I can't tell you its composition, but it is in very good condition from my quick examination yesterday. Some oddness with the cutting table which looks like a machining error? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wirerabbit Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 This is the chubby horn the Alamos are known for. But what's up with that crazy cutting table? 3 1/4 inch wide face, 10 3/4 inches to the step, and another 6 inches or so of horn. Hardy hole is 7/8 of an inch and the pritchel hole is 5/8". Lots of casting flash at each of the corners inside the hardy hole probably from a defective or misaligned core. Some minor markings to the face. Interesting holes there near the right edge. Check out that nice corner. Hammer rebound is the same as my Acciaio 30 anvil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
