Sask Mark Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Are the Kohlswa's the most predominant anvil found in your part of the world, or do you focus your collection on them? Considering they are made in Sweden, it would stand to reason that they would be more common than other brands. I would love to get my hands on the 672 pound London Pattern Kohlswa that is still being cast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragons lair Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 OLD baby made in 1944? Most of mine are about 30+yrs older. Shoot I was made in 45 ain't OLD yet. As an old swede I would like one. Can't find a good affordable one. Enjoy. Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferrous Beuler Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Very nice anvils Joe. I have two Peter Wrights, an American Wrought and an ancient mousehole. Maybe your four anvils could get together with my four anvils for a play date?:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bentiron1946 Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Made in 1944, must have been made at the latter end of WW2. How is the quality compared to the post war anvils? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
