John in Oly, WA Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 A friend of mine just bought an anvil and was wondering what kind it was. He said he was told it was pulled out of an excavation on the Alaska highway in Fort Nelson. It looks like it was pulled out of the ground, has some heavy pitting on it. Sure has a sharp point on the horn. He's up in Canada, Vancouver Island. Paid $150 Cdn for it. That's about $112US. He didn't say what the rebound on it was. Any ideas on it? Vulcan?

ThomasPowers Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Vulcan would be my *guess* with the remains of the raised logo, the 10 cast proud, the low drop from face to table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John in Oly, WA Posted March 8, 2019 Author Share Posted March 8, 2019 Thanks Thomas. Looking at it, except for the torch cut on the edge of the face, it doesn't look like it's been used much. Just buried in the ground for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Maybe someone was using it for weight on an implement and it bounced off... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 I second the Vulcan ID, although most I have seen do not have such a sharp point on the horn but that could be they have been hammered flat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoName Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Hello John, May want to look at a Southern Crescent logo. Not much left of it.... N.N.F. Beautiful, Manchester, Michigan. USA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John in Oly, WA Posted March 11, 2019 Author Share Posted March 11, 2019 You're right NoName, it does look like the Southern Crescent logo. And then it looks like the Southern Crescent anvil has about the same rep as the Vulcan, maybe a little lower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
