HaywardForge Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Hey Guys, Just saw this anvil pop up, but the guy posted almost no info. Any ideas before I go take a look? 21" face, 11" high... i think thats the Vulcan logo. But the only other marking seems to be "10" craigslist link removed Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rmartin2 Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 "10" is 100 pounds for Vulcan. Edit: I think 13 is the last 2 of the year of manufacture so 1913. Someone please confirm this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-1ToolSteel Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 A #10 under the horn at the foot would mean 100 lbs, but a 21" face on a Vulcan would seam to be more like 200 lbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaywardForge Posted October 30, 2016 Author Share Posted October 30, 2016 I should rephrase, 21" from the tip of the horn to the opposite side of the face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-1ToolSteel Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 That should make it 100 lbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaywardForge Posted October 30, 2016 Author Share Posted October 30, 2016 Thanks, I contacted them. If they get back to me I am going to go pick it up. Its in such great shape, can't pass up on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-1ToolSteel Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 How much are they asking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rmartin2 Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 I believe the asking price was $350. It was in nice shape, but some will say Vulcans are on the bottom level of anvils. I have a 150 pound Vulcan and it has done me right, but I don't treat it wrong. They have really thin faces so keep that in mind. It has been said to only hit hot metal on it. Somewhere I have a thread that shows the thin Vulcan face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-1ToolSteel Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Bottom-of-the-line is a relative term. Sure they aren't Hay Buddens, but they aren't Harbor Freights either. $350 is reasonable, but it never hurts to try to talk them down to $275.

HaywardForge Posted October 30, 2016 Author Share Posted October 30, 2016 Ya the prices in my area are crazy. most 150lb peter wrights are going for 700-900 dollars. found some NC 100 lbs anvils for like 400 as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rmartin2 Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying don't buy it. I said "some will say its bottom on the bottom level". Not me as I love my Vulcan. It's such a step up from the RR track I was pounding on before that. Go get your Vulcan and enjoy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
