BCROB Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Hahahaha, love it , awesome score , good for you !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigcity Posted May 25, 2014 Author Share Posted May 25, 2014 i was already offered 100 for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frozenforge Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Rabbit Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigcity Posted May 29, 2014 Author Share Posted May 29, 2014 it has I I &B Co on the other side as well "Illinois Iron & Bolt Co" from my understanding is who made Vulcans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Sells Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 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" ?
