Sonny Mac Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 I (woodworker) am not a blacksmith, nor do I do iron work, but my young nephew has just gotten into forging.... I made his small forge. I have an old anvil that I simply bang on... a little metal work. I see this anvil on Craigslist. Mod Note: link removed Seems to be an old anvil. Surface appears rusted, but flat/smooth, no major issues. To you, does it appear to be in good shape? I thought to get it for my nephew, but a little leery of the price. Seems $3/lb is about reasonable for an anvil in good/great shape. Thanks for any advice. Sonny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottyOmega Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 A lot of Mouse Hole anvils popping up on here recently. A little rust is nothing. Check out my MH anvil I just brought back to life. Appears to be a similar size to mine as well. As for age, it appears to be pre 1830. I picked mine up for $250. What are they asking for this?

Sonny Mac Posted July 23, 2017 Author Share Posted July 23, 2017 They are asking $500. Can't quite tell what it's sitting on, for relative size..... maybe a dolly. Sonny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHCC Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 $3 per pound could be very reasonable in some areas and on the high side in others. If you add your location to your profile settings, it will be easier to answer your question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonny Mac Posted July 23, 2017 Author Share Posted July 23, 2017 I'm in Lafayette, LA. Wasn't thinking, earlier, as I posted a link to the anvil ad. Not familiar with your forum protocol, that way.... yet. I'll be more careful in the future. Sonny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
