Fatfudd Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 It looks like the top plate de-laminated and broke off or as you said someone took an angle grinder and cut it off after it de-laminated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stovestoker Posted March 28, 2014 Author Share Posted March 28, 2014 Looks like the cut is right in the middle of the sweet spot. I need an Anvil but I don't think this one is worth the 300. I could be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could be wrong.I believe I have seen that one before. If he isn't willing to come waaaaaaaaay down on his price, I would walk away without a pause.

Judson Yaggy Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Badly broken. Pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 The face is the soul of the anvil, that one is half souled, Frankly i wouldn't pay US$100 for it unless I really needed a winter welding projectl then I migh go 100 depending on size... I know that old anvils were often faced using multiple slabs of steel; and so failure of an individal piece is not unknown; but I would think an HB would be a single slabber.

BIGGUNDOCTOR Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 I looked at a 140# H-B farrier anvil that had the top missing from the hardy hole forward. The grandfather had welded a forklift tine section on top with welds around the sides. It was listed for $400, I was willing to go $100, and when I called back a couple of weeks later it had been sold for $300. Uninformed people will pay the high prices. The problem then is that everyone else thinks that their broken anvils are worth as much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGGUNDOCTOR Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 BTW, I'd pass on that one. $300 will buy enough materials to make a really nice anvil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
