oakwoodironworks Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 I wonder how many people are actually buying these anvils especially at the asking price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DNG Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 http://fortcollins.c...3272257307.html I'd ask him 50 bucks and see if he had a 10 lb case of high impact hard facing rod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metal99 Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 I can't believe the prices some of these people are asking for these things! It's insane!!! I talked to this guy and he still wants 2$ a pound for these two. He got mad when I made him an offer lol 2 LARGE BLACKSMITH ANVIL'S FOR SALE on Kijiji http://saskatoon.kijiji.ca/c-ViewAd?AdId=428303541 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Fellow at the fleamarket today wanted me to set the price on an old abused Atha hammer head; so I said You pay me $5 to haul it off---he was not amused. He should have just made a decent offer than trying to gouge me for as much as he could get---it's been there for 3 weeks now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metal99 Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 I just scored an ASO for ten bucks. It's a cast iron canadian blower and forge co. completely beat and the heal is broken off. It's pretty ugly lol. I swear it looks nicer in this picture for some reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judson Yaggy Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 This one popped up today a few towns south of here, $500! http://burlington.craigslist.org/tls/3438782465.html LMFAO l Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Did they give any reason why it should sell for that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judson Yaggy Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Yes, they actually cited AIA and Postman saying that Hills were rare. I have not yet emailed them to let them know that 5 years ago I sold a 200# Hill to an eager young kid in the same town for $2/lb, and have personally seen 3 other Hills without really trying.

Probablyforged Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 When an anvil is chipped, or chunked, in this case, is that always evidence of abuse? Or just used for a long time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 So I have a rare "Powell" that's missing the heel and I bought it for $40---about 30 cents a pound---as it had a nice face and usable horn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metal99 Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Here's my ugliest anvil so far! Not sure what kind she is but it's cast iron and well used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaughnT Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Bolt lugs like that are indicative of a Fisher Norris anvil. They have a cast-iron body and a tool steel plate, even the horn has a tool steel top on it. They are great anvils. Even in that condition, she's perfectly usable. I wouldn't mind finding someone that knows their business and could weld it back up a bit. Hate to see a Fisher in that condition! Looks like you got a beauty of a forge, too. I'd love to have one of those larger forges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metal99 Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 You think it could be a fisher? That would be awesome :) I didn't notice any markings on it but I haven't wire brushed it yet. If it is a fisher it would be worth my time to slowly fix it up. That big forge is going to be my new user, the anvil was thrown in for free with the two forges I bought. I also got a bunch of tongs and top tools thrown in. The other forge that I got has the wooden handle that you pump up and down :) I think it's time to sell off some forges tho... I now have six of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakesshop Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 I was thinking it was a well used Fisher also. Let us know what you find out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njanvilman Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Here's my ugliest anvil so far! Not sure what kind she is but it's cast iron and well used. It looks to me as though both the horn steel and top plate are missing. Yes, this probably could be saved through heating, welding with nickel then hard rod, and a lot of grinding. But I ask, "is it worth the time, cost, and effort to do so"? I personally would not do it, but to each his own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metal99 Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Yeah it would be a ton of work and not really worth it lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaughnT Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Clean it up and post more pics once the rust is gone. And mail me that forge since I've been so helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metal99 Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Lol I appreciate the info but I can't let this forge go lol. I've got 5 other forges you could chose from tho! Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
