Dan C Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 I don't know anymore than what's listed in CL and that these sorts of opportunities always happen when I don't have spare cash around. Looks like a good opportunity as least and maybe since the ad don't list keywords like antique or blacksmith you might get a decent deal.

Black Frog Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Quote from the ad: "A rare one in Very Good condition may go for 8$ a pound and most are all less than that." Well gee, if they are under $8 per pound.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan C Posted July 2, 2014 Author Share Posted July 2, 2014 lol, yeah...if I was in a position to buy an anvil and needing one like so many of the wanted ads here I'd look to see what else they have though. If they're all priced like they're made out of gold then the hoarder(s) aren't going to be getting rid of any. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stash Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Only $8 per pound? Slice me 10 lbs, off the top please. Extra thick. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njanvilman Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Does anyone know what a "Fisher Knife Anvil" is? I have never heard of one, and I think I know a lot about Fisher products. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Frog Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 They say it is "VERY VERY rare". So rare that no-one has ever seen one I guess.....You should contact them and ask for pics of this rarity. I'm guessing a normal saw anvil, but who knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan C Posted July 2, 2014 Author Share Posted July 2, 2014 I imagine if that one is $8 a lb it's going to be around for a good long while. I did email her to see if I can get some pictures. And if Anvilman hasn't seen it...either it's something you sprinkle fairy dust on and make a wish for, or he's going to have to buy this one for his museum as it's the only one in the world.

ThomasPowers Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 I'm betting it is a sawyers anvil any other guesses/bets? (and it does give me a sort of clueless vibe---have to see which one of us needs the clueby4) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HWooldridge Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 I've been following this one for a week or so since it was posted on CL. There are now some pics attached to the CL ad. Many years ago, I traded for two anvils from a collector near this same address. I'm not sure it is the same collection or not - although I suspect so because of the similarities. He was living in a doublewide at the time and had so many anvils in the house that he joked the trailer was "tornado proof" due to the extra weight. I got a nice 180 lb Mousehole and a 200 lb Fisher then for about $2/lb but that was almost 30 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frozenforge Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Thats even too much for up here! Watches too many of the tv shows where people find old things and amazingly they are worth thousands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
