DJmahon Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Can someone please help me ID this? I know nothing about anvils except for the little research I was able to do since I won this thing in an auction. I know it's a 'stake' anvil b/c of the shape of the mount, but I have no idea why the horn tip is nipped off or why the face is so narrow (about 4 cm, and it is in cm). Other than very little surface rust that brushes off easy, it looks practically brand new with no visible chips, dings or dents that I can see. I'm pretty sure it's not an antique or anything special like that, but I have no idea what it is. The farthest I've found is that this crown with "CADOS" comes up with some hammers from Peddinghaus-Cados. Checking Peddinghaus website, only one of their models includes CADOS, also having the crown. The rest are straight Peddinghaus with a clover-like logo. And they are all hammers, haven't seen any anvils. So it's European made, German language (Austria, Germany?), and specialized in purpose. Anything else?

Black Frog Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 I saw that same piece and was going to go. it had my interest as well... good for you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 May I commend to your attention: https://me-mechanicalengineering.com/stakes-types/ look at item G (though the description mentions grooves in the non-horn end, in basic shape it's closest) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJmahon Posted April 27, 2017 Author Share Posted April 27, 2017 Thnx. I don't think we were looking at the same auction, Black Frog, I'm in MD, not cheeseheadland. And does anybody know anything about the "CADOS"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John McPherson Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 CADOS is (now) a RIGID Peddinghaus brand. Not sure how long it has been a part of that group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Frog Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 DJmahon, I believe there was online bidding available. That's the piece! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJmahon Posted April 28, 2017 Author Share Posted April 28, 2017 ok black frog. I thought you weren't in the baltimore area, so thought it couldn't be the same auction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
