Laynne Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 I haven't seen this in person yet just the picture. Is there any reason for what appears to be holes above the waist? I will be doing the ball bearing test on it tomorrow after work. Supposed to be 140 pounds. Thanks in advance. Laynne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daswulf Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 The two holes don't "look" like they would cause an issue. Let the ball bearing test and ring test be your guide. It looks good from what i can see but pictures can be decieving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Yes there is a reason: a previous owner wanted holes drilled in it and did so. If they go all the way through I could devise a sliding third hand using them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laynne Posted July 6, 2018 Author Share Posted July 6, 2018 I will see what the rebound is and see if they will go for $3/#. Asking$515. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MC Hammer Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 You could always use the holes as a way to get them to come down on the price. I think that's worth a $1.00 off a pound. Gets me to thinking that if you do get it and filled the holes with silicone caulk if it would kill the ring. It would be worth a try.

Laynne Posted July 6, 2018 Author Share Posted July 6, 2018 I didn't even make an offer on it. The best I could get was 60 percent the length of the face. My beat up ugly Vulcan is 80 percent from the horn to the hardy hole. All I would have gained would have been a prettier anvil. Thanks for the input. Thomas you made me smile with that first response. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
