steveh Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 used anvils in my area are in the $3lb range give or take,dependingon the condition.im not sure on your quote but if its around $400 i would buy it for sure.good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 It's unlikely that you will need to repair that crack, takes a heap of pounding on a 200 pound anvil to get something like that to cause trouble. If it's made from wrought iron in the body oxy-acetylene welding may be a problem. If it's a cast steel anvil then with some preheat and slow cool there should be no problem. I would preheat and arc weld it myself. I would be happy to pay US$400 for that anvil. I don't know what the "going rate" is in Italy though; is Bruno around? (Italian smith on some of the boards) Note for the less traveled: europe uses the comma where we would use the period Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steveh Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 i believe i misunderstood your quote and it is $750us,that is still less than $4lb,its still an okay price.i guess a lot depends on supply and demand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Leppo Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 That anvil is junk. Ship it to me in Pennsylvania at once to get it off the market. I can use it to hold my wooden stump from blowing away. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agsolder Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 I would buy that anvil instantly-- and I would not touch it with a torch or an arc welder. That crack is of no importance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Doesn't look ancient; they look more like cubes of metal and are generally fairly small. It could pass for renaissance though a 1000 years later than "ancient". It is a standard european style one that we are not as familiar with in the USA.
