Bigred1o1 Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 I was looking around and this this popped out at me seems interesting if pricey was just wounding if anyone knows anything about it plus the description was kind of fun "Large anvil for sale 2 feet long not including rounded tip 3 feet 1 and a half inches long including rounded tip. 7 and 3/4 inches wide 1 foot high. Pick up a must" i am in no way shape or form affiliated with this anvil just thought it was kind of interesting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Anyone have information on this or similar large anvils of this design? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Looks cast to me; have to spark test it to see if cast steel or the more common cast iron. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatfudd Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 It could be a huge crane rail modified into an anvil I had a crane rail that was ten inches long and weighed 70lbs. It had a really wide top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaughnT Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Never seen the like, but I don't it's a cast-iron lump. Looks like the horn is concentric which would be good for someone that's truing up a lot of rings. The waist is weird, though. Gotta be over 200# and that's a lot of work to go through for a sub-standard cast-iron-only anvil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigred1o1 Posted March 20, 2013 Author Share Posted March 20, 2013 yeah the most got changed a bit as it got bounced around the sight last night i had just put this up as it was interesting to see this pattern of anvil this size when the largest one with that wast pattern i had seen was 20lb it is up for sale somewhere on the internet and there are a few more photos with it i have no interest in buying it and its not worth the drive to sneak in and hit it with a grinding wheel so my bet is it will remain a mystery as to what is is cast from Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pulsepushthepopulace Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 it looks similar to the Clark Equipment Co. anvil mentioned in AIA... but then again... it doesn't... its uglier... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
