October 28, 20178 yr 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.
October 28, 20178 yr 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.
October 28, 20178 yr 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
October 28, 20178 yr 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.
October 28, 20178 yr 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!
October 28, 20178 yr 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.
October 29, 20178 yr Author 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.
October 29, 20178 yr Congratiulations, nice anvil, straight surface, sharp edges and I hoop de rebound en hardness is OK to.
October 30, 20178 yr What does the bottom look like? It's often the fastest way to narrow down the possible makers!
October 30, 20178 yr Author Here's a pic of the bottom. Also has the square forging holes on the back and under the horn
