January 21, 201511 yr Hi all, I'm jake and glad I found this forum. I recently purchased this 70lb anvil for $75 and was wondering if anyone here may recognise it. It has what looks like maybe an 'A' above and left of the '7'. Not sure if it is an 'A tho because font is curved. Those only markings I see. Seems fairly decent shape tho. Any help appreciated. Thanks
January 21, 201511 yr Pic doesn't work for me---remember to show a picture of the underside of the anvil as well as it can be crucial in identifying an anvil.
January 21, 201511 yr Author ok. I will get another ic at lunch. the '7' is not ictured either it is uunder horn side i believe. thanks
January 21, 201511 yr Thick waist, feet shape and mounting cutouts make me think early Fisher but the heel looks wrong, too short maybe. Looks to be in good condition and at $75 is probably a good bargain. More pics from different angles would definitely be helpful. While you're at it, update your profile to show location, maybe a good chance one of us are close by.
January 21, 201511 yr Author This is how I have it now; chained to this stump. I was going to undue it for better pictures but decided not to because it really chained pretty good. I did take few more pics, maybe they will help. Thanks again.
January 22, 201511 yr I agree with Thomas. It is a Badger anvil. The bulge under the hardy hole plus the cut aways in the back foot under the heel were typical of a badger.
January 22, 201511 yr indeed it is a 70# badger. I have one and it is an excellent anvil, my everyday anvil. cast body with steel face and not much info in AIA.
January 22, 201511 yr Author Awesome! Thanks guys for help. Good to know what it is. It definitely beats rail track i had been using.
January 22, 201511 yr indeed it is a 70# badger. I have one and it is an excellent anvil, my everyday anvil. cast body with steel face and not much info in AIA. Even better at $1 a LB!
January 26, 201511 yr Nice to see another person from Lincoln, Nebraska, here on the forum. This makes at least three that I know of ("postleg" being the other one).
January 30, 201511 yr Author I actually got another here lately very cheap and wondering if could get more of ya alls expertise. It says Lakeside on it with 84 under that, then on other side has 93 and has serial# 186634. Thanks for the help. Greatly appreciated.
January 30, 201511 yr Lakeside was a store brand name. It was made by Hay Budden then stamped with whatever name the retailer wanted.
