Jacksman Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 This anvil appears to have an unusual arch under the main body. I know the picture is poor quality, but does anybody have a guess as to the maker? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Due to the quality of the photo, the picture angle, etc. it is difficult for me to tell if it is an arch or the curve between the feet. If you are able to get additional photos, and photos of any marking, it would help us provide an opinion. As to the maker, there is just not enough information to make anything other than a guess. If someone recognizes the anvil shape or outline, please provide an opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacksman Posted August 13, 2017 Author Share Posted August 13, 2017 Grabbed it off a website, may or may not see the anvil but was intrigued by the "arch of the base. I'm in Shelby Co. Ohio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 The arch may just be the angle of the photograph and the curve between the feet creating an illusion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Spanish and French anvils sometimes had an arch in the base; but I concur it looks the the curve between the feet to me. The horn looks a bit off to me. I'd certainly want to see and test it in person before making an offer on it! (If that is what you had in mind) Quad-State Blacksmiths Round-Up is coming up fast at the Miami County Fairgrounds, Troy Ohio. There will be several HUNDRED anvils for sale and so on display there if you want to see a bunch and get a feeling for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-ManBart Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Saw that one as well. It's like the estate sale people don't even look at some of the pictures they post! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
