scotto Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 My machinest friend has eyed an anvil he may be able to buy or trade work for. He took some measurements but its dirty enough he couldn't read anything. No pictures at this time.Hardy = 1 1/4horn tip to tail = 36"height = 14"face width = 6"What say ye?Kind of like guessing how many dimes are in a gallon pickle jar!Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Frog Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Totally depends on make and style. A 36" Trenton is going to be vastly different than a 36" Fisher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foundryman Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 I can't remember the height of my anvil off the top of my head but it's 36" long, 6" wide with a 1 1/4" hardy and its marked 4-0-0 (448 lbs) so you're probably in the same ballpark. whatever the scales say its a good sized shop anvil, providing you don't have to move it too often!

Fatfudd Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 My 35" fisher weights 400lbs, Several 36" Hay buddens that I know of are marked 400lbs, My 300 lb Hay Budden is 33"This sort of gives you an idea of the range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Is it gracile or robustus for those dimensions? Old english style with a fat waist or cast anvils with fat heels may weigh 100 pounds more than a slim attenuated late 19th century American styled anvil. But yes it's big with the 1.25" hardy hole---unless someone enlarged a smaller one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Sayers Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Whether it is cast, solid wrought, and how thick the face plate is all affect the weight vs dimensions. You'll have to weight it if you want to know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
