DJRJR Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Hi. This is a mystery anvil. No discernable markings. Any idea if its a real anvil or an aso? Thanks in advance and insight is much appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 All you need to do to tell if it's a real anvil or an ASO is to do the ball bearing test on it. If you get a good rebound then it's a true anvil (and quite old to boot!) Here in America that might be a "colonial anvil" dating to pre-1800 due to the lack of a pritchel, and probably originally from England due to the shape of the feet and the heavy waist. Where you are at I can't tell. Australia and South Africa often have English anvils; but most European countries don't have many. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
