Fatfudd Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 The only way anyone will be able to answer your question is to take pictures close up of the sides, the numbers if any on the feet, any other markings like under the horn and the base of the anvil. The pics will need to be clear and if possible showing good contrast. Other than that it looks like a pretty nice anvil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhettbarnhart Posted July 25, 2012 Author Share Posted July 25, 2012 on the feet and under the horn?btw it says sweden and 100 pounds on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluidsteel Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 I'd guess it's either a Sodefors or a Kohlswa. Both are good anvils. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatfudd Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 I guess you sorta answered your own question, Swedish anvils are very good quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Dean Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 SISCO is also a Swedish anvil, I have one that weighs 127lbs. The name and weight is stamped in the waist along with the name. It is a cast Steel and has a better rebound than my 185# Hay Budden!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Some anvil brands have weight stamps and serial numbers on the front of the feet. Others have a distinctive shape where the horn meets the body on the under side. Some anvils have a distinctive depression in the base. If one set of markings have been obliterated the others may still be present. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomasPowers Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 *MANY* brands of anvils have depressions on the bottom. It's the *shape* of the depression that may be a useful indicator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
