Nicemibs Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Hello to all, I recenlty accuired a nice little Hay Budden it weighs 52 pounds, date is 1918. What is it worth? Reason for asking is, I have a guy that wants to trade and anvil for a 155lb post vice , but the vice had the jaws re-worked basicly some welding done to the jaws and brackets. What is fair market price for a budden of this size?? I am in Iowa anvils are scarce here too. I didnt sand this previous owner did! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rapula Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 It looks in good shape, if there is no repair on it, a Hay Budden that size would bring on Ebay around $450.00 or more on a lucky day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 the quite small "real" anvils go for a lot of money compared to the "normal" sized ones. I'd say that it was worth quite a bit more than a postvise though 155# s a large vise. My last 6" postvise was 100 pounds according to the stamping. If it's an 8" vise then you may want to consider it as the very large vises are also rare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicemibs Posted August 17, 2011 Author Share Posted August 17, 2011 Thanks for the info, I will agree large vises are also hard to find in the wild, I already have 2 postvises one 66lb the other 75lb, so other than something to look at I dont need a 155lb-er, I am going to pass on the vise and keep the Little Budden, thanks again Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
