I Forge Iron

I have no idea


Recommended Posts

I just picked these up from an estate sale. not sure what they are but they are HEAVY. My thought is to use them as an anvil to light forge and form steel or make a power hammer out of them.But what are they? they have a "L" and "R" on them. some kind of die or something. never seen anything like them. I also got lucky and picked up a jar of ? Don't think it is graphite the glass is clean. im hoping it's powdered steel. Is there a way to tell? thank you for any knowledge.

The jar loks like porphyr (English spelling??) in which case it is quite valuable. A hard kind of rock that was popular for expensve pieces 200 years ago. I may be totally misled by he pic but check it and do not sell it cheaply.
