spoggy Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Hey Everyone! Just bought this one today and it's pretty nice. I'll add some other pictures after I get it out of my car. I do have a question though. On one side of the base, it has B 50 in raised letters/numbers. I've been to the Kohlswa anvil site and see other "B" designated anvils, but none marked as a "50". Does anyone have an idea when the B 50's were manufactured? I'm just curious. Thanks for looking! Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njanvilman Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Uhh, Sweden. Nice looking anvil. Good quality cast steel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 "When?" Looks like a more recent variant of casting. I'll check AinA when I get a chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spoggy Posted October 19, 2010 Author Share Posted October 19, 2010 Uhh, Sweden. Nice looking anvil. Good quality cast steel. Hehe, I figured that the "SWEDEN" on the side of the anvil was a dead givaway. No, I was looking for a "when", not a where :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spoggy Posted October 19, 2010 Author Share Posted October 19, 2010 Okay, my bad. I saw some numbers and letters on the side opposite of the Kohlwsa logo, and never paid any attention to them. There's an "A1" and a "91" in the casting. So, this is an A1 style anvil that is still listed on Kohlwsa's site as being in production. The "91" is the kilo weight, or 200.2 lbs. there is some weld slag on the face (nothing that penetrates, it pops right off when scraped with a cold chisel), one gouge on the very tip of the horn and 2 shallow gouges on the heel by the pritchel hole. I gave $300 for it and think I've got a pretty good deal. I still want to know what the "B50" is though, I'm going to write Kohlswa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddog Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Looks like you got a xxxx good deal and 200# is a perfect size for a shop anvil. For comparison this anvil is going for about the same price per lb + $100 shipping.Warning, graphic image! Your pix are low resolution. It looks like there are welding beads along the face. Be nice to see those more clearly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
