Strange 'BS-4' anvil


Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

Just wandering if anyone has seen an anvil like this. its current location is the Stockmans Hall of Fame. What intrigued me was the (painted?) BS-4 on one of the sides near the horn. This was quite a big anvil, the face i'm guessing was around 6 inches wide. There was no indication of a face plate welded on, maybe indicating that it was cast? 

Cheers!!

Oh and by the way, i didn't see any markings on the body (well, on the side facing me).

Hi there Owen, I see you're in Longreach. The Stockman's Hall of Fame is well worth a look. As for that whopper anvil, I reckon the BS4 is probably just some accession number used by the Museum in their records, BS referring to 'blacksmith' display.
