Hammer55 Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Hello. My bride picked me up another anvil while I was out of town. I would appreciate your help identifying it. It is a 200# and has a W cast into an inverted triangle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pulsepushthepopulace Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 That would be a anvil manufactured by West, Made in Cleveland, OH... High Quality Cast Vanadium Steel... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammer55 Posted March 22, 2013 Author Share Posted March 22, 2013 Thank you for the quick response. This thing dose not look like it has been hit at all. Having second thoughts about my Hay Budden now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatfudd Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 West anvils are top quality and comparable to any other really excellent anvils. They also draw big prices when they are on the market. Matchless antiques has had a few on Ebay in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammer55 Posted March 22, 2013 Author Share Posted March 22, 2013 Wow. Good to know. I got it for about half of what I gave for the Hay Budden, and it's 45 pounds heavier.Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammer55 Posted March 22, 2013 Author Share Posted March 22, 2013 Do you know if the anvils were painted from the factory? I ask because this anvil looks like it would have a factory coating on it. It looks like it was bought and "never" used. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pulsepushthepopulace Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 AIA makes no reference to any coating, but who knows... It's more than likely lead paint, so take necessary precautions if you decide to remove it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zengineer Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 I have a West, but my logo is different. Light blue paint (really faded) on mine, not sure if its factory paint or not. I've attached some pics of my 200lbs west, does yours look similar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
