Brokkr Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 I bought this old gal 40 years ago. I haven't taken care of her as well as I should have but I did a lot of "flat" shoeing with her when I was young and still had good knees. Most of the damage was present when I got her, I swear. ;-) The hammers are a work in progress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ausfire Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 The base damage looks like it was dropped from a great height. Maybe its past experiences before you got it included one of those idiots who enjoy blasting anvils into space with gunpowder between the bases. Check it out on You-tube. Should be a law against cruelty to anvils. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Everything Mac Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Looks like they forged in that handling hole when it was too cold and the sides split. - Both sides are bowed outwards slightly. Nice looking anvil though Brokkr, any ideas on when it was made? Trenton's have the tool steel upper body don't they? Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
