Jim Erickson Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Just picked this baby up tonight, The seller told me it was a Williams Foster. The only markings I have found are the 2 logos on either side. I checked the bottom and under the horn for serial numbers, but haven't found any yet. Any info will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Nobody Special Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 My william foster. I'd love to tell you most dont' look exactly like this, but a bunch of them haved broken heels or horns. Makes for a good deal a lot of the time. Nice columbian. http://www.iforgeiron.com/gallery/image/37796-ntm1/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Erickson Posted February 22, 2014 Author Share Posted February 22, 2014 Wow, Thanks for the quick replies. It was advertised as 100 lbs, but I havent put it on a scale yet. I don't think it's quite that heavy, but we will see. Now that I know the maker, I'll do more research. Now for tomorrows project....a stand.

Frozenforge Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 It seems like the Columbians with a M on them are 100 lbs. All steel no faceplate in very good condition. There wasn't any way to date them other than somewhere between 1903 to 1923. In very good condition use and enjoy, Find a copy of Anvils in America. Expensive but well worth it in my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
