ichudov Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Picture is here: It weighs, I would say 60 lbs. also, does anyone have a clue as to its value and composition. (cast steel, forged steel etc). I would say that it looks like cast steel to me. I cannot attach the picture for some reason. But the above URL should be good. Thanks guys!

They are high quality cast steel anvils. Value is subjective, but I would easily pay $2-3/pound for a Columbian in good shape where I live.

ichudov Posted June 25, 2010 Author Share Posted June 25, 2010 Igor ya need to hang on to both of them for the boys. Ken. Ken... I am giving the tiny one to the boys... I will make sure that it is screwed to their workbench so that it does not fall on their feet. As for this little 75 lb columbian, I do not need it as I have a 200 LBS Peter Wright. I figure that this Columbian would be of no benefit to me. I will sell it. I am an open minded person and if you explain why I am wrong, I will listen.

ThomasPowers Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 It is a great small anvil for demo's and a traveling set up. If you plan to teach: anvils are usually the item in short supply, I like to have a max of two students per anvil to avoid traffic jams of folks with hot iron in the shop! I also have a "loaner anvil" for serious students to use while hunting their own down. 3 reasons to keep; but it's your anvil do as you will!
