matei campan Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 speaking of JEB anvils (recent posts from eastern Europe) - take a look at the one at the bottom, a real monster (300-350kg?), and an unusual pattern around here, where 98% of the anvils are the Austrian (Steyeriche) which look like this: the one below it's an anvil I know from 7-8 years now, and the seller haven't sold the anvil yet as she is asking too much. maybe If I go with a reasonable amount of cash i'll get it... if so, there will be a problem, moving/transporting it. I have a 160kg+ anvil, but it looks quiet tiny in comparison to this. an interesting feature is that the anvil has the edges chamfered along the first 1/3 of the face length. apart of a slight depression in the sweet-spot area, the face and edges are in a very good condition. in fact you have plenty of flat face, which I would call it rather a table - it's so large that you could even take a nap on it :) on both anvils posted here, the example and the anvil I'm speaking of, there's the JEB and the 2 angels marking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianinsa Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Can't you just put it in a shopping bag and take it on the bus? Just kidding ,300+ wow! BTW. I think I would prefer the Austrian 'look' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gergely Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Hello Matei! Thank you for posting these awesome pictures! They also confirm that JEB - certainly - has made real big sized anvils. I have never seen bigger JEB than 100 kg before - but what have I seen all together?... :unsure: Hey and those are some very pretty knives on your website! Nice work! Best wishes Gergely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matei campan Posted September 11, 2014 Author Share Posted September 11, 2014 thank you Gergely for the appreciations! I already saw several 250kg "normal" JEB-s for sale, but here, the problem is the prices are so high (and the anvils are not in v. good condition), that, for same money, you could buy one or two great anvils from France and ship them here...

Gergely Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 250 kg JEB falls also into the "wow" category! Price range is pretty wide here, too. But with luck you can find the right piece at the right price. Ie. there is a 75 kg Peddinghouse only 30 km from my house - flawless condition german two horn. Asking price is 200 € but I really hope we can agree on lower price... (So just have to find the money for it ;) ) Bests Gergely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaughnT Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 I would gladly accept either anvil in my shop. Those deep church windows and stepped feet are gorgeous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John McPherson Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Any weight markings or guesstimation of that Austrian pattern anvil? How about pictures from other angles of both of them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
