seldom (dick renker) Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 nice looking anvil for less than a buck a pound. what a deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Frog Posted September 11, 2012 Author Share Posted September 11, 2012 Finding a nice anvil with nice clean face and edges can be tough. Finding a nice anvil that is large is tougher. Finding a nice huge anvil that is over 500# is very hard. Finding all that for less than $1/pound is a find of a lifetime.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VaughnT Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 WOW! If I had seen that in my search, I would have gladly expressed the money as soon as I could drive to a Western Union! Even with shipping costs it would have been a great price. To be able to pick it up locally for less than a buck a pound? That's just pure good luck!!

Unforgivun Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Well technically since you didn't wind up with it, the odds are in your favor that you'll come across another one :) Thats my story anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Frog Posted September 11, 2012 Author Share Posted September 11, 2012 It would've been an 8hr drive each way for me, but I would have been willing to do that in a heartbeat. When I saw it, I couldn't type fast enough to get an email off to the seller. Oh well.... I didn't get a make on the anvil, but guessing Budden? I don't see any flats on the feet for a Wright, has a narrow waist and I don't think Trenton made them that big(?), I can't quite see any ridges on the underside of the heel for A&H, not a great picture though, and that's pretty big for an A&H one. My 527# A&H is on the large end of what they made I believe. I don't think any of the lesser-known manufacturers went up that high in weight, so leaning toward a Budden? It has been sold for a while- I think the seller leaves the ad up there to torment me. :angry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sask Mark Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 I don't see any flats on the feet for a Wright, has a narrow waist and I don't think Trenton made them that big(?), Apparently Trenton made one that weighed 1200 pounds. They were capable of making big ones. Whatever make it was, it's definitely a lovely anvil and I'm sure the buyer is happy. I know I would be.

ThomasPowers Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Why "of all places"? *Any* manufacturing plant of a certain age had a complete blacksmith shop in it---including a glass plant and a sugar refinery I know of personally; not to mention: large hospitals, insane asylums, prisons, even car repair places had a smithy back in the 1920's and earlier! I bought a book on American Prisons just for the pictures of forges in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sask Mark Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 A couple of hours ago a 300-400 pound Peter Wright in nice condition sold through an online Government of Canada surplus auction for $251.99. Based on it's measurements, I would say it was much closer to 400 pounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
