January 7, 201313 yr I purchased an Anvil last thursday. I was hesitating on the Purchase because I wasn't sure whether it had a good ring, or rebound to it. The guy that had it dropped a 1" Ball Bearing on the face, and that sold it instantly, as there was about a 90-95% rebound. He had it advertised as a 120lb Kohlswa, but upon getting it home, and inspecting it further, I don't know how he figured it was a Kohlswa. The only Markings I can see are difficult to make out. On the side with the Horn Facing to the LEFT there is a FAINT marking that looks like Possibly, (UST), or (JST), and below that is what appears to be a a city name, that is difficult to make out as well... It appears to be on the lines of (M----VILLE). I have done a search and have come up with nothing. I haven't remove the Anvil from the stand to see if there are any markings on the bottom. I am attaching the Only pic I have at this time. My camera took a Dump on me this weekend, I will post more pics when I get a new camera if needed. Thanks in advance.
January 7, 201313 yr Author After doing some serious inspection, and a little more digging, I found out it is a 125# Yost circa 1924...Made in Meadville PA.
February 17, 201412 yr I just aquired a YOST anvil. New to the forum as well. The anvil weighs 164 lbs. What is the quality of these? Never heard of them until I brought it home. Anyone know if these are cast or wrought? Any info appreciated.
