Jim Coke Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Greetings Eco, Looks like a just fine PW.. More than likely the first 1 in 1-1-9 was defaced and by the size of the hammer I would say its a 149 pounder.. It could not of had much use the bark is still on the stump.. Go for it.. Forge on and make beautiful things Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VaughnT Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Buy it if you can. It looks to be in nearly new condition and certainly good enough for another hundred or so years of forging on! Nice edges, great size, no signs of welds.... definitely worth $2/lb or more. I wouldn't feel bad about getting that anvil even if it cost me $500. A new anvil of similar quality and size is going to be a lot more expensive than five bills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomasPowers Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Now don't forget to factor in the cost of your time and travel too! I pretty well stopped going to auctions and started networking along my daily life and did MUCH better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohio Rusty Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 I know you can't own it all, but if you see something you really want, then apply the : 'Rule of thumb for blacksmith 'stuff' .... If someone else buys it, then you can never use it or get any enjoyment out of it if it is setting in someone elses garage ...... Just a personal observation ...........
