KiraLach Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Howdy! I'll attach a couple photos of an anvil my grandpa recovered from an abandoned farm. It's a smaller, 25lb (though she comes out to 22 and a half) anvil, very well used. The top is in pretty decent condition, actually. Not many divets or dents. One of the edges is in terrible shape, very big chunks taken out from it, and one side has what looks like fairly deep pock marks in the main body. The horn is in great shape, as are the hardy and pritchell holes. And, if anyone knows what kind of anvil this is, certainly wouldn't hate to have it identified! Much thanks in advance, and I'm pretty proud of her even if she is a bit beat up, as she's my first proper anvil. I'll include a picture of what I "worked" on before, just for giggles.

KiraLach Posted April 30, 2018 Author Share Posted April 30, 2018 I figured cast iron as well, since it seems to have a welding seam down either side of the feet, but it also seems to have a mark of some sort on the one side, not sure if that's just a strange shape in the metal or a maker's mark.

JHCC Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 This is definitely a one-person anvil. In other words, you'll be forging Solo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
