jayco Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 What is this exactly? I have 2 of these my uncle brought home from work in the early 1960's. He worked at the old C&O railroad car shops(blacksmith shop) in Raceland Kentucky. I improvised a hardy& small horn and used both as anvils for many years.I still use them as upsetting/swaging blocks. They are 10in.x16in. x10in. in height and weigh about 70 lbs.Anyone know how they were used? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
