800 lb. Anvil - Eau Claire, WI

Featured Replies

 This afternoon I encountered the largest anvil of my young life. We showed up to Carson Park in Eau Claire, WI for the Independence Day celebration. My mom told me there was a forge I should see. Grandpa mentioned the lights in the coal forge to make it seem hot and I lowered my expectations.

This is what I found. I was focused on family, so I did not get a brand/maker's mark etc. There was an 800 on the foot (bottom right) which I believe indicated weight in pounds. 

My 5'4" bride for scale.

The hardy is over an inch wide; the pritchel is about 1/2".

We found the sign humorous.

the base looks like a fisher, cool anvil!

I'm not an expert on fishers, someone else on here can tell you more.

It is a Fisher.  It is one of about 6 that I know about.

Fisher & Norris Factory Museum.

No need to secure that to anything!  It ain't moving anytime soon.  Fisher for sure.  That horn looks like it's just waiting for some youngster whose head is about that height to ram into.
