Got this anvil and wooden stand today. 100 lb. A little bit rusty on the sides, cant find any markings on it as yet, but the face is in an excellent condition.

Beautiful! that is in immaculate condition! i would love to have it. nice find.

That is one clean anvil!  I know this is a blacksmithing site but I'd love to see a picture of what I assume to be an ore cart pictured in the background.

Looks like you are collecting cocopans too?

That black one looks just like the one that stood in Germiston for many a year.

Cool pack(or is the collective noun swage

Looks like a John Brooks.

What is the going rate for an anvil in South Africa these days?

anvilfreak, you even have ASO's in your anvil collection, cool!

ASMEsecIX prices differ a lot, from cheap to rediculously expensive. Ive seen them going anything from R15/kg to R60 /kg. The exchange rate at the moment is about 1$=R10.50
Thanks Caotropheus. What is ASO'S

ASO - Anvil shaped object, like the blue colour ASO, in front/below the small blue anvil

I recognize Tiaan's axe in the middle, and on the left was made by Neels. Is the top one by Hylton?

 

Who made the others?

It's a "harem" of anvils as the collective term...


I suppose that relates to how badly you were "rolled" when you bought them!

Hi Jacques. Yes, the axes are from Tiaan, Neels, Hylton, and the other two damascus steel axes i got from a friend overseas.
