BenM Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 (edited) Could I get some opinions on this please? I was looking for something more substantial than my 66 lb soderfors and this is really close. Do you think it would clean up will or what should I look for if I go see it? Commercial link removed per TOS.

ThomasPowers Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 William Foster is my guess due to the date. Do the ring and the ball bearing test. Bring a wire brush to clean the face a bit before testing---ask first of course. Check the thickness of the face; looks a bit thin but the picture is not clear. William Fosters tend to lose horns and heels; but the ring test will pinpoint any current cracks. Offer less Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timber Ridge Forge Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Looks pretty beat up since you already have an anvil I would just keep looking till something better comes along Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Especially since the seller described it as in great shape, which it obviously is not. My max for that anvil would be $200 maybe $250 if it passed the ring & rebound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timber Ridge Forge Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 I wouldn’t pay $150 for that anvil but that’s just me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
