Black Frog Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 I have been looking for a larger anvil(s), something 200+ pounds. Came across this anvil in the first picture, this is the picture provided. The seller mentioned that it was 225 pounds, but no markings on the anvil he could see. The anvil had been sitting in the corner of machine shop for decades, rarely used. Looked in nice shape from the pics though, I asked for some higer resolution pictures. With a little photo editor work with contrast/brightness, I could make out the logo.... :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 GREAT FIND! Arm and Hammer made some of the most elegant designed anvils very handy for ornamental work. 225 is a good weight for a shop anvil too. Finally it looks in *beautiful* shape. Did you manage to get it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Frog Posted June 27, 2012 Author Share Posted June 27, 2012 Yup, back home with it. In my area, anvils over 200# seem to be very rare to find- I've been watching everyday for months. They are rare here, go fast, and can be pricey from what I've seen. I missed a 200+ pound nice Trenton with stand last month, it was gone within hours of it being posted. I paid $2/pound for this A&H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KYBOY Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Thats great, we have a smaller 100# Arm & Hammer..They are very,very good anvils..Ours rings like the bells at Notre Dame though..Very loud, get yourself some chain or magnets to dampen the sound..

ThomasPowers Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 I would not be ashamed of paying $2 a pound for that anvil! Condition, Make, Size all very good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Frog Posted June 28, 2012 Author Share Posted June 28, 2012 After some wire brushing and a little CLR, logo is nice to see. There's also some stamp on the other side of the anvil, but can't make out all that's there. Also, looks like someone did a learning weld on the face, I don't think it was any sort of repair attempt. Not bad, could probably bring that flat again easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timothy Miller Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Just sand off that weld bead and forgetaboutit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
