Show me your anvil


Recommended Posts

Here is my LMF anvil that my grand parents help buy for me at a CBA conference. It is numbered 015. It is a 175 lb. I mounted it on a Doug Fir timber from when I used to work at the sawmill. Then added my own tool holders to it. Also used our lumber banding tool to keep it together.

140 lbs, or 7/8ths of what I'm 84 and a half percent sure is an 1816 William Foster.

 

Picked it up for next to nothing since it's "broken" - far bigger than my old one, and beautiful beautiful rebound. Ain't pretty, but it's mine and I love it.

Just got this yesterday.  Removed a little of the paint and found    y budde   That's all I can make out so far.  Am I correct, in that there should be some numbers below the name?  Where else should I find markings?  It has a strange hollow sound to it, but I believe that is due to the base it has been attached to for the past 50 years.

my name is Matt I'm very new to the whole forum thing. l don't know how to add a pic from my phone and I no longer have a computer. but my anvil spent 20 some years holding up a house. the man said if you can get it without the house fallin in you can have it. so I got it. its very rough. it was severely abused. I'm about 1/8 of the way finished resurfacing it with flapdisks. if anyone can help I would like to post some pics.
