Scobb Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 hey guys, just picked this anvil up in Mexico, Mo. paid 2$ a pound i was wondering how thick the steel plate on top is? i can obviously see the line, but just wanted to make sure it wasn't a trick to make the tool steel plate look thicker than it really is. if that makes sense?

njanvilman Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 How heavy is the anvil? The heavier the anvil, the thick the plate. It is probably about 7/16" thick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Frog Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 How about a closeup of the side logo stamp, and another of the serial number on the front foot under the horn? I'd like to add it to the logo database. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubalcain2 Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 I think its safe to say that the line is the joint. as far as i know a&h didn't do the fake plate line stuff. this is just my current understanding, which is always subject to change. nice anvil either way.

C-1ToolSteel Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Yep. No trickery here. Fake lines was something they added to casting molds on some lower end anvils. Arm and Hammer is a top of the line forged anvil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
