September 21, 201510 yr Very cool old stake anvil, portable, for driving into a stump. I read somewhere that loggers used to take them out to the woods for setting saw teeth and light forging. Just pound the stake down into a green stump and build a fire. Instant smithy.
September 21, 201510 yr I was wondering where I dropped that!Seriously, if you're interested in parting with it....
September 21, 201510 yr Since its got a square shaft with a collar shape on it, wouldn't it be more likely to have been designed for use in a hardy hole rather than pounded into a stump?
September 21, 201510 yr Author Thanks for the info I've been searching all over the Internet for it. I think I might have a go at restoring it to put it back into use.
September 22, 201510 yr Many colonial spanish anvils were like that. I have seen largish ones stuck in the holes of acorn tables and industrial swage blocks. Color me envius
October 4, 201510 yr I can't tell from the pic, is the base actually square or is it flattened like a blade?
