VolcanoForge Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 I think it was a fair price at 140. I doubt that thing weighed more than 120 and was in pretty rough shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John McPherson Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 It was in good shape, and sold to a dealer, who will easily triple his money on it without even cleaning it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaughnT Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 My anvil weighs 120, so I know that one was at least 30lb heavier. That said, the owner was a fool for not doing his research on the anvil to determine its weight or brand. The maker's mark might have been destroyed, given, but he sure didn't come across as being knowledgeable about it. Used to make movie sets? Prove it! Otherwise, that claim is just so much bumpkiss. Got pictures of the ironwork granpa made on it? Was gramps well-known in the area for his smithing? Where are the photos. Ugh!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timothy Miller Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 I would say its a buy at below 150 and a sell over 250, anything else is just dreaming or good luck. It looked like an early Hay-Budden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
