eric sprado Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 I picked up a 140 lb. English anvil that looks like it has NEVER been struck by a hammer!! Can't find it in Postman. Pictures attached. Any help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianinsa Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Hi there Eric, long time no see, hope life is treating you well? That anvil is very ' Brooks' in appearance, if so you have a great anvil there!Keep well my friend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Everything Mac Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Yup - thats a "Brooks" - cast steel. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakesshop Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Another vote for a John Brooks here. That thick heel is one of the giveaways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan P. Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Looks like a Brooks, though not necessarily a "great" anvil. The lack of maker's name and newish appearance might suggest and immediate post-war "emergency" type casting, of which I have owned one, which was not a good casting, though a perfectly functional anvil.
