stan Posted March 7, 2015 Posted March 7, 2015 This Bk anvil weighing in at 28 pounds sold for $299 aust including post($24) or $234 US. Quote
arkie Posted March 7, 2015 Posted March 7, 2015 That must have been a joke.Apparently, whomever sold it is the one who got the bargain! At nearly $10/pound, that is not a bargain by any stretch of the imagination... Quote
Frosty Posted March 7, 2015 Posted March 7, 2015 Uh, typo? That has to weigh more than 28lbs. It appears to be 3' long OA and probably around 4" wide by 24" +/- on the face and around 12-14" tall. 28lbs has to be a typo. Sure it's cast proud on the anvil but is that a model #, weight in 1/10ths, or?I don't think it's the ripoff it sounds but what the hey I'm on the other side of the planet.Frosty The Lucky. Quote
stan Posted March 7, 2015 Author Posted March 7, 2015 Frosty that tape showing 30 cm or 12inches bk Sydney anvils normally have wt in pounds stamped. Quote

njanvilman Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 I would love to get one of those BK anvils for my museum. I would pay that amount any day. The shipping halfway around the world is another story. Quote

arkie Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 Stan,I am not familiar with the BK anvils (no surprise being here in the states...). Are they cast steel, cast iron, forged steel, ??? How do they compare with the higher quality anvils made in the US and UK, such as Hay Budden, Fisher, Peter Wright, etc.? Quote
stan Posted March 8, 2015 Author Posted March 8, 2015 arkie, BK or Bradford and Kendall anvils are cast steel with mounting holes at the base like some fishers, I`m no expert but I have two and they have been good for me. Maybe quality wise middle of the road. Quote
njanvilman Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 njanvilman heres a picture you might likeIf I ever make to Australia, I will pay you a visit. Wonder if one of those would fit in my luggage? Nice collection. Quote
stan Posted March 8, 2015 Author Posted March 8, 2015 njanvilman sorry but that collection does not belong to me, wish it did. I just put this topic up to show how crazy anvil prices are getting over here. I would be interested in seeing pictures of your museum though are there any on this site.? Quote
