fordmustangbrad Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 I found this anvil Friday on C.L. in a city about 115 miles from my home. It was offered as $100 obo. I got it for $80. I could not tell what kind it was until I got home. I think it is a Wilkinsons but I can't read much of the name. I made out "QUEENS DUDLEY" and the hundredweight 0-3-25, or 109lb. The anvil reads 106.7 lb on my scale. I have one just like this anvil but it weighs 90lb. The ride was long, but the view when I arrived was incredible. The mountain picture was taken in the seller's front yard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macsen Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 I have a 230 pound Wilkinson. says Queens Cross on the side. It's in a little better shape. Bought it from an old fellow for $35 but he said to buy it I had to take it right then. From his basement, and no, I couldn't go and get help or a hand truck, right now or never, I did it, one step at a time, and slid it down his front hall on an upside down car floor mat.

Glenn Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Funny how "right now or never" speeds things up. Starts the brain to thinking how to get things done with what is at hand. :) Both of you have a tale to tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLAG Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 126 lbs. SLAG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 For anvils marked in the CWT system only! The how is leftmost number x 112 + middle number x 28 + rightmost number in your case 112 + 14 = 126 which may be a couple pounds off if weighed on a certified scale nowadays but generally close.
