Newbe Question


Recommended Posts

Hello my name is Dave:

I am new to this site and blacksmithing. I picked up this anvil fall of 2018. Do to bad back issues was only to put in shed. Maybe good weather is coming to southeast Pa. Can get it out and clean better. As of now not able to read much on side of anvil between paint, rust and prick punch marks.wirebrushed as much as I can. The design of anvil makes me believe it’s a hay budden. Would appreciate any help determining maker. I want to add photos of anvil. The weigh is approximately 280-300 lbs. length of anvil is 35” face is 22”x 5” height is 12” base is 13” x width is 12” hardey hole 1-3/8” Pritchel hole 3/4”.                         

Thank you All

Dave

Welcome to IFI We won't remember that once leaving this post, hence the suggestion to edit your profile to include location. This will help you get the best out of the forum.

READ THIS FIRST

Your anvil looks like a good one and I'm sure some of the anvil guru's will chime in. Have you read about not doing any grinding, milling or welding on the hardened face?

Those edges look crisp for such an old anvil!  She’s a beauty.  Welcome aboard.

Lou: Thank you for answering feedback on anvil. I have been on internet all winter looking and reading. Purchased Book Anvils in America and mouse hole books. Weather permitting this week I can strip paint and wire brush. NO grinding maybe a 120 flap disk and scotch brite pad.

Thanks: Dave1pa
