caintuckrifle Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Anyone know who made this anvil? my guess is Vulcan but I do not know, the body is cast iron and has no markings the face is about 1/2 inch of steel that I cannot file the rebound is fair and the surface is rough. It is most likely a cheaper anvil but not quite an A.S.O. Any help is appreciated Caintuckrifle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quint Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Do you have any more pics and how much does it way. I am just guessing but the heel and nose look more vulcan but the feet more arm and hammerish. That line at the waste is more vulcan to me also. That would be my first guess but I could be wrong. Vulcan had raised cast inisgnia and arm and hammer were stamped if I remember correctly. If its a smaller arm and hammer it could explain why the heel is thicker looking then some of the larger ones Ive scene photos of. The larger ones the heel thinned out considerably.

Black Frog Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Quint, I have several A&H's, looked at a lot more, and have never seen a horn like that on an A&H. Most (all?) A&H's I've seen don't have the peaks on the feet, usually flats as they swoop down off the body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 I have a 93# A&H and the heel is so thin you could almost cut yourself on it! (I generally keep it near the 500#+ Fisher that has a heel like an anvil face...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quint Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Thanks Frog, I was just going off pictures as I scouted around. I could have sworn I saw a few pics with the feet like that but could have been mistaken which ones they were from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
