ausfire Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Here's a strange looking anvil. Never seen one with a built in vice before. It's listed as a bootmaker's anvil. This antique tool dealer has a few interesting anvils for sale - mostly small jewellers anvils though.

arftist Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 It's a useless multi-tool, for metal workers (think anvil shaped object) but may actually have some utility to bootmakers. Around here those things are not worth $20, and I doubt that one is either except to a tool collector. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinobi Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 If it's anything like the one we brought to a demo(mercifully didn't need to use it) last year it's actually hollow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, a close look at another photo shows it is hollow. You would hardly call it an anvil if it's not solid. The vendor wants $495 for it, but I think it would only be of interest to a collector. Wouldn't want to put a hammer near it. It's pretty though. (Pretty useless). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
