Daninghram Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 This could be my anvil, unsure of the value what do you think.? It is a 135 so 201lb? is the pitting on the face an issue? the edge on the other side looks better than this side. thanks for the help.

JHCC Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 The weight marking is 1 - 0 - 23, so 135 lbs. How's the rebound? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daninghram Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 It is 2 hours away so I have not checked it out yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWIOW Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 I have the same one I payed £160 for it, but it depends on where you live some go up past £300 mark in some area's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daswulf Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 If you think of it as an investment on a tool that will last you a lifetime + then that isn't so much is it? As long as it has good rebound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Looks to have many years of condensation rusting on the face, cost $3 .15 a pound, not bad in your area. Check rebound---with that face it may need to be a hammer test rather than the ball bearing test. Also check for the ring. It should ring nicely, dull or missing ring on a Peter Wright means hidden trouble (if it hasn't been fastened down to kill the ring!) If you will be using it, I'd advise yes if it passes the test. Note that if it is for sale on an open forum it may sell *fast*. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWIOW Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 That's not bad if it sounds good on the the rebound test I would go for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomasPowers Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 stake anvil. I have one very similar only without the very extremely nice stand. Mine had a very soft face---I hand filed it smoother. How is yours? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B_HOSS Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Here is the anvil I'm using. A good friend let me borrow it. It's a rough and ugly 150lb Vulcan. Not much but I like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 doesn't look very rough and ugly for a vulcan! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not much but I like it. Nothing wrong with a Vulcan Anvil in good condition. I have a ~250lb Vulcan...it's a workhorse for most projects....I don't plan to weld grapnels or anchors on it (of any scale)...but it takes a hammering, gives good rebound, and conveniently enough - it's quiet. My Wilkinson (Dudley/Queens Crossing) is great, but repeated hours of hammering coupled with exhaust fans gives me a headache! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B_HOSS Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 It may have read differently than I meant it. I really like this anvil. I'd love if it were my own. I'm just saying that I don't have much in general. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never thought I'd find anything to get going with, it takes time and money (unfortunately) to collect the things you need in a reasonable time frame . Keep at it and it'll come together !
