anvilcountry2 Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 is this a steel anvil and how much would it cost? http://imgur.com/2pvye5P http://imgur.com/O27jEk1 http://imgur.com/ARK4e0Q I weighed this anvil and it is 90 lbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the branch Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 looks very much like an ASO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John McPherson Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Grainy looking face = ASO. A steel face on a cast iron body would be smooth, like a Vulcan or Fisher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody Special Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Those funny looking stubby little horns are a giveaway too. You'll find these sometimes that are cast steel, but even then, they tend to be far too soft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Note the cutting plate too small to be used as such---made by someone who doesn't know how an anvil works. Please note too that prices will vary by a factor of 4 depending on LOCATION which you haven't given not to mention is it pounds pesos or rupiah!

I am in Los Angeles California and I am getting one offer of $100, but I have two other individuals who are interested in this item. I assume based off of the respones that this is Iron and not steel? Also I assume that this is not really a high quality anvil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

notownkid Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 This in my humble opinion this would be hard pressed to called a Low Quality Anvil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 "ASO" is "Anvil Shaped Object" usually applied to cast iron versions that are not really usable as a blacksmiths anvil to much extent. A block of steel from the scrapyard at 20 cents a pound would work better as a using anvil. They are however usable as a secondary holder for hardy tooling, weights for glueing woodwork, garden or fireside ornamentation, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
