ThomasPowers Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 May I commend to your attention this thread: https://www.iforgeiron.com/topic/31301-b-n-c-marked-anvil The ball bearing test will show if it's a good anvil or not; but that horn definitely indicates that the people cast it don't know anything about anvils and so I have my reservations.

jkmatt Posted May 1, 2017 Author Share Posted May 1, 2017 the rebound is very good on this anvil. around 65 or better. it is cast steel. i have seen other anvils with a horn like this one but the were in industrial shops. mostly war era shops.

ThomasPowers Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 65% is NOT very good, OK; but 80's and 90's is the very good range for anvil rebound Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
