May 25, 201412 yr Here is my 2 new anvils paid 50$ for both the bottom one is a 136# Peter Wright and the smaller one im not sure but it has (might be I.I.) L L & B & Co and a 6 casted in the foot
May 25, 201412 yr Good scores Big City. Must be nice to live in prime blacksmith tool and equipment hunting country. I don't even want to mention what the PW would get up here. <sigh> Frosty The Lucky.
May 27, 201412 yr 100 would be a steal as well! Like Frosty said would hate to see what that pair would go for up here. About once or twice a year an anvil will pop up on Craigslist up here, the last one was just last wednesday. 60lb Sodefors for $350 was was gone in less than 4hrs. Youve done well, do some forging its good for the soul
May 29, 201412 yr The top one looks like a Vulcan. Stamped 6 should mean 60 pounds. Maybe not top of the line but definitely a usable anvil. Nice score. ~The Mad Rabbit
May 29, 201412 yr Author it has I I &B Co on the other side as well "Illinois Iron & Bolt Co" from my understanding is who made Vulcans
May 30, 201412 yr Author Well here is the Peter Wright all cleaned up wire brushed and oiled until i get the ingredients for a better finish :)
May 30, 201412 yr Well here is the Peter Wright all cleaned up wire brushed and oiled until i get the ingredients for a better finish :) What else do you think you need for a " better finish" ?
May 30, 201412 yr Author was gonna try the linseed oil and beeswax mix but i may never get around to doing that
