Potential first anvil

Featured Replies

Hey all, 

Just ran into this deal, at least I believe it's a deal on an anvil. Seller says is 100#. Can't find any markings for brand. Will take $200.

In my little area of the world that sounds like a great deal and I would jump on it right away given the good looking condition. 

Looks kinda like a Hay Budden. Possibly Trenton. 

   Hey V,

  Grab the cash and run. When you pull up, take a deep breath, good ring and rebound, load it up. Stop reading and go.

   N.N.F.                      Beautiful, Manchester, Michigan, USA 

Looks like my 106 lb Hay-Budden, if it passes the ring & rebound test I wouldn't hesitate to get it, provided there is no bad damage on the other side. Should be a name on the other side (hidden by the paint) & serial number on the foot under the horn.

Great find ! Enjoy your new to you anvil. Very good price!

 

So, have you got it yet?  Are you still dilly-dallying around?  That's a fine anvil, and a super-fine price.  While I'm not a fan of things "not Fisher", I'd still snatch it up at that price and not think twice about it!

Picking it up later today! 

I can’t believe that no-one’s pointed out the obvious problem with that anvil: with that color of corrosion, it’s obviously made of copper!

 

Just kidding. Looks great (for a non-Mousehole), and definitely a fantastic price. Keep us posted.

Picked it up today. Rings nicely on the face and the legs. Didn't have a bearing for rebound but the hammer seems to bounce nicely. Here's a pic on the stump I plan on mounting it to. Planning on wire brushing the paint of to see if I can find a maker or serial number.

Congratulations!

 Looks like the twin to my 100# A&H to me.......                 Life is Good                     Dave

Congratiulations, nice anvil, straight surface, sharp edges  and I hoop de rebound en hardness is OK to. 

What does the bottom look like?  It's often the fastest way to narrow down the possible makers!

Here's a pic of the bottom. Also has the square forging holes on the back and under the horn

scrub the front foot under the horn for a serial number.
