June 25, 201015 yr Author Around 100 lbs! Haven't got it home yet. It's kinda rough but I'll fix it!LOL!It was a steal!
June 25, 201015 yr I'm guessing cast iron due to the edge damage, How do you plan to fix it? from WIKIPEDIA Meehanite is a trademark for an engineering process to make many types of cast iron. When a foundry advertises that produces "Meehanite Iron" this means the foundry is licensed by Meehanite Metal Corporation, initially of Chattanooga, Tennessee but now based in Mequon, Wisconsin. The Meehanite process includes a series of specific processing steps, which, when followed, will produce (according to Meehanite) cast iron with uniform soundness, consistent physical properties and dependable performance in service[1]. Meehanite metal specifications include a wide range of cast irons, including flake graphite types, ductile irons, austempered ductile irons, wear resistant irons, heat resistant irons and corrosion resistant types. Meehanite is not a specific alloy or material. While Meehanite lists all of these metal types in its grouping of specifications, all of these types of cast irons can and are made by non-Meehanite licensed foundries. Many of the types of engineering grades listed by Meehanite were discovered or developed by other companies Frankly it's probably better as a display piece than an anvil.

Thanks for all the tech INFO!! WOW!!! I just gave $50 for it so no big loss. I thought it would be a historic piece!LOL!

Now a tailgate market Ken.
July 7, 201015 yr Nice to know the current status; but the original post said "I just ran across anvil made by Ross Meehan Foundry In Chattanooga Tn" so no need to re-state that part.
