August 23, 201114 yr I just aquired this Brooks Anvil from England and its marked 3/4 a cwt , so 75 lbs. It had been used to beat on punch on and a chicken roost. The edges are chiped off. So after a lot of grinding and welding with 7018 after it sat for a few hours I welded and grinded ed and again,,,,I usually do the last finishing passes with a 120 grit sanding disc. Then paint everything but the table. MY question is........... ya theres always aquestion after all this typing. Whats a fair price for it before I refinish it. I owe a friends widow for it?[
August 23, 201114 yr 3/4 of 112 is not 75 it's 84 pounds. At least US$1 a pound as it's a cast steel anvil it should repair well with welding. I'd suggest 100-150 due to the friendship.
August 24, 201114 yr I agree with Thomas on the price, never take advantage of a widow woman and be a little on the generous side to boot, your woman could be in the same fix some day.
