ChrisPTF Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 In the last three months I have bought three anvils off Craigslist. I bought the book Anvils In America (by Richard Postman) and that is the definitive source of Anvils. It is a wealth of knowledge, and has been so helpful along with Iforgeiron.com Enclosed is a photo of my three Anvils: Top Anvil: 1902 Trenton 75LB. Middle: 1885-1910 Peter Wright 132LB. Bottom: 1910 Trenton 145LB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put em to work I have pounded steel on the 145lb Trenton but have not been able to use the other two yet. 2 hours ago, Fatfudd said: Hey Chris- Are you looking to give Fred Moore a run for his money as to who is the biggest anvil collector? I think I am going to lay low for awhile unless I come across a deal that I cannot pass up. I am more than happy with what I have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 If you stumble across good deals there is a standing line of folks wanting anvils out that way. I pass good deals onto my students with just a "handling fee" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
