Muddoc Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 My wife's grandmother recently passed away and in the tool shed near the barn was this anvil. It's in great condition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Frog Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Sisco Superior, made in Sweden. Excellent quality. Sisco was a U.S. company for importing Swedish steel products started in 1907. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muddoc Posted October 19, 2016 Author Share Posted October 19, 2016 I wish I could put it to work but it is currently held up in a family dispute as to who should get it No one does any smithing in the family and my wife suggested I get it because it was her great grandfather's and I am at least learning to smith some.

Daswulf Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Sometimes you have to just Pay to inherit it. Offer them some money for it. Sometimes other family members see dollar signs while you see a great tool you would use and have a respect for where it came from. I dealt with this with my grandfathers tools. I had to buy them. Granted for less then it should have been but still. Most of the rest of the family was just looking for $. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Or sometimes you can arrange to "borrow it" to use with the ownership remaining with someone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
