stan Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Bradford and kendall foundry started in the 1920s producing many items for heavy industry as well as anvils. I own two 112lb I bought in 1999 and 160lb I have had for around a year, both cast steel and petty good to work on.The 160 hardy hole and pritchel are not as well finished as the smaller anvil and this seems to the standard practice for some reason.Also the mounting holes if used really quieten the ring.

turbo7 Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Your right about the mounting holes Stan, I have a little 112lb bolted to the stump and she goes "thunk thunk thunk" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zsteve Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Nice anvils to use. Would agree re bolting them down, without it they ring like a bell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hand Skills Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 I've just looked at a BK Sydney anvil.(no AUST on the embossing) Appears to be 150 lbs with the numeric 8042 on the side at the rear of the flat plate. Can anyone give me an idea of what I'm looking at and what sort of money is reasonable for it. Anvil has been well used. Edges of the plate are all reasonably rounded Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ausfire Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Hard to say what sort of money is reasonable because we don't know where you are. Different places, different prices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Also pictures would help to set a price. BTW: Welcome to IFI, I always suggest reading this to get the best out of the forum. READ THIS FIRST Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PWS Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 (edited) Hullo to all,as I delve into Blacksmithing this is my Anvil setup...A 224lb Australian BK mounted on a 200lb Australian Red Gum Stump...I'm in the early stages of setup...Time will tell...Be careful with the CV going on.
