NoName Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Jackpot. This is a 1910, 189#, Lakeside, made by Hay-Budden. I passed on this anvil last year. It had so much crud on it, it had almost no rebound. Went back to take a better look, the little hammer, ball bearing, and yes a heavy little paint scraper. Scraped and scraped.....rebound! After a couple of hours of the wire wheel. Under the barn dust, a thick layer of greasy grime, and at least five colors of paint. This is what I found. N.N.F. Beautiful, Manchester, Michigan. USA.

Anachronist58 Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 G-Man, perhaps you should get some counseling in regard to all those vises? Robert Taylor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daswulf Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 If you want to give it some scale you need to hammer some hot steel on it. nice anvil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I considered the 58 with the side shelf, but decided against it. A buddy of mine just started importing Refflinghaus locally and I figure I can always sell this one and get a 58 if I change my mind. 14 hours ago, Anachronist58 said: G-Man, perhaps you should get some counseling in regard to all those vises? Robert Taylor Haha....buying, restoring and selling vises is what paid for the anvil! I only have a handful I'm keeping for myself...maybe 5 or 6 total. 1 hour ago, Daswulf said: If you want to give it some scale you need to hammer some hot steel on it. nice anvil. I can't wait to try it, but I'm going to be smart about things for a change (I hope). I'm not even good enough to call myself a novice, so I'm planning to use my beat up 150lb Fisher for a little while, work on hammering technique, and then make the switch. I probably put the cart ahead of the horse, but had an opportunity to get the Refflinghaus immediately and didn't want to pass on it and then have to wait down the road.

Marc1 Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 I would like to hear from someone who has used an anvil in a backpack for training ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thief_Of_Navarre Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 I payed £1.50 a Pound for it which was perhaps a little steep but I'm content. The guy who I got it from goes over to France with his brother and picks interesting oddments while he is there to bring back. He knew a lot about the sedan / donchery region that it's from but little about the anvil. French wikipedia tells me little other than when they started manufacture. I just can't resist shiny pretties! As for training with anvils you probably wouldn't want all extra load on your seisamoid bones, or if you are going for it you need one back and front to balance you out...

Happy Fish Forge Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 After 6 months of trying to locate a decent anvil near me I gave up and bought new. It's a 110 lb. Kanca and I'm happy with it. I wanted larger but the wife insists her car goes in the garage at night and at my age moving 110lbs.is still possible any larger ... not so much.
