I found an anvil for sale, is it worth going after?


Recommended Posts

Someone on craigslist posted an anvil for sale (see pic). They say it is 146lbs and is 11" H x 4" W  x 28" L. The asking price is $250... this is all I know about it.

 

Can anyone identify the maker?

Is this an anvil or an ASO?

Is this a good price to pay, and if not what is?

Wow... I feel kinda foolish for asking this now... I didn't realize part of the face was gone, I originally saw a double table anvil (and was wondering about that). I was also wondering how I would work efficiently with it attached to the ceiling rather than the floor as my arms would tire quickly from holding everything above my head (my computer likes rotating images when I upload them... it is correct on my hard drive).

 

Thanks for the advice

You don't include your location so it's hard to know what the market is like in your area.  I'd offer $100 for it and use it as is for awhile if desperate.  Then I'd consider a good candidate for Gunther's restoration process if you're a welder.
