Fatfudd Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Question for the seasoned smiths that have seen a lot of anvils. I acquired a "stake" anvil today which is unusual. It is a very hard tool steel probably HRC 56+ and is in the south German pattern. I have seen a similar one for sale on ebay a while back for around $500. This one weighs around 50 lbs and is 21.5" long and 3.5 "wide. I haven't taken it off the stand yet so I can't describe the stake. It is beautifully made obviously of high quality cast steel. So have any of you run across anything like this especially our members across the pond? As I said it looks German but then Swedish anvils have been cast in this shape too. I would appreciate your thoughts on this. Obviously, it will be a fantastic tool to use! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatfudd Posted September 27, 2014 Author Share Posted September 27, 2014 A little more info- The anvil on ebay was supposedly from the Kenneth Lynch "MOB" Swiss Collection although the ebay listing said David Lynch Collection Hopefully that may jar someones memory?

Frosty Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Oooh pretty! More pictures please, I"m thinking it'll look good as a center fold or a page on a pinup calendar. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
