jshad Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 A guy 2 hours away offered to sell me this anvil. He doesn't know much about them. Can anyone tell if this is a good anvil or what brand it could be. TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelonian Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 Just from the shape I'd guess that it's a Fisher. I'm not an expert, however. Do you have any other photos of it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daswulf Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 A good anvil is one with good rebound and one in usable shape. It looks in usable shape but I can't do a rebound test from here. that's up to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jshad Posted December 30, 2018 Author Share Posted December 30, 2018 I took a gamble on this one and drove straight there. Its a 90 pound fisher. The face and horn are in awesome shape. It does have one corner of the bottom "foot" broken off, but I dont think it will cause any problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 It won't cause any problems. I have a PW missing a foot---must remember to make it a peg leg for talk like a pirate day! ARRRRRGH! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc1 Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 i thought all PW have a flat base. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jshad Posted January 1, 2019 Author Share Posted January 1, 2019 Even with missing part of a foot i was really happy with this one. Anvils in my area are starting to go for $4 or more per pound. I got this one for $2 per pound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Looks like a good find. How about some more pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
