August 16, 20187 yr This seller says no markings or numbers, but it is It's 34 1/2 long , 14" Tall, 5" Wide. He does not know the weight.
August 16, 20187 yr Trust no weight that isn't a scale weight! I've had sellers off by 100 pounds before. It looks like a good anvil, (I have my suspicions due to the flats on the feet, but don't have AinA here at work so I will not voice them yet.) If it passes the ring and ball bearing tests it would make a very nice shop anvil. (if it passes say US$2-$4 a pound...face looks a little abused or soft though so on the lower end; definitely do the ball bearing test!)
August 16, 20187 yr Well if its a packsge deal, make sure the blower functions smooth and check the vise screw and screw box for damage. ( the handle on the vise is not original) need a new handle on the blower as well. All these things affect the price.
August 16, 20187 yr If you don't mind me asking, what is the seller's asking price for the package deal?
August 16, 20187 yr If the anvil passes the ring & rebound (ball bearing) test and is near the weight, it sounds like a fairly good deal to me.
August 16, 20187 yr If the vice and the blower don't need repairs, and if the anvil is not soft, you are getting almost all you need to get started. If you don't have anything yet, it seems a good deal. If you don't need forge or vice ... then may be a bit pricey? Try a lower offer. Remember that if are not ashamed of the price you offer, you are offering too much
August 16, 20187 yr If you don't need the forge & vise, you could turn a good profit selling them. Most sellers expect a little haggling.
