Peppie Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Looking to purchase an S&S 172 lbs German style anvil. Cant find any info on the construction used in the 1930' era. Anyone have any insight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Maybe one of these threads will help. Did a Google search for[ S&S Anvil iforgeiron.com ] https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=S%26S+anvil+iforgeiron.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peppie Posted February 8, 2020 Author Share Posted February 8, 2020 Thanks Irondragon, The link you posted was for stainless steel anvils. I am looking for info on anvils manufactured by Sichelschmidt Schlasse. (Aka. S&S). Abit of confusion on my part. I have read all the info I found on Google by searching the name. Nothing on how they are constructed, or what materials were used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 If you scroll down there are several threads that have S&S anvils in them (just skip the stainless steel threads). One of the threads has a copy of one of their ads in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peppie Posted February 8, 2020 Author Share Posted February 8, 2020 Thanks Irondragon for k7cking me in the butt. I paged down a bit further and found out they are cast steel. I think I am going to order a 172lb German style from Austria. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 I love the look of them, although I've never had the opportunity to use one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peppie Posted February 8, 2020 Author Share Posted February 8, 2020 Nor have I ....but that is going to change. Down sizing from a 300#PW, got a power hammer to move into the forge/hut... floor space is at a premium. Cant see that I will need 36" of 300# of PW getting in my way as I am headed to the tire hammer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benona blacksmith Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 I ordered anvils from Austria and had a great experience working with Emerald Koch. He is a great guy and makes sure you can get your best bang for your buck on shipping. I at first ordered 1 and later ordered 2 more anvils and a swage block to get the most for my $500 flat rate shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
