Sawmakers 1986 Posted January 26, 2016 Author Share Posted January 26, 2016 Had someone interested in it from the Fisher anvil muesum in NJ it could be used but if it's as rare as I think it is it probably belongs in a museum I'm from Ashland PA problem is no one will give me any info on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frozenforge Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Looks more like a hornless anvil than a sawmakers. All the sawmakers anvils I have seen did not have a hardie hole. Possibly less common than the sawmakers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daswulf Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Welcome from the western side of the state. someone here may know something or other about it. Good luck, whatever the case may be on it. Me, I love antiques and history, I love keeping it alive as well thats why i Love usable antiques. Personally i'd use it and not abuse it. get a little rust off the top.

John McPherson Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 If you look at the following ad, yours is a double arch anvil like the one in the lower left corner. Sawmakers anvil in lower right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is not much information about these. 23 hours ago, Jim Coke said: Greetings, Belongs in the museum with Josh.. To many other anvils out there for general black smithing . Forge on and make beautiful things Jim I would love to add this to the museum, but not $800 worth of add. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Not a really deep market for rare anvils. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
