MickOZ Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Hello all, I just picked up this Anvil at Garage Sale. I'm interested in its age and in what country it was made in. Net searches has not come up with much information at all. Thanks in advance. Mick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Welcome aboard Mick, glad to have you. If you'll put your general location in the header you might be surprised how many of the Iforge gang live within visiting distance. Sorry, don't know anything about that anvil. Face and edges look decent but the casting looks kind of rough. What does a rebound test tell you? Drop a ball bearing from a way up and estimate how high it rebounds as a %. Good is in the 75%+ range and below about 60% is pretty limp biscuit poor. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John McPherson Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 If it is from Australia, it may be a rare McPherson product, unless someone knows another McP down under. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully will be able to learn from the members, and share what knowledge i have.Thanks for that tip i bought a bearing and done the rebound test as you suggested, getting at least 75% rebound, closer to 90% i would say. 2 hours ago, John McPherson said: If it is from Australia, it may be a rare McPherson product, unless someone knows another McP down under.
