Chris C Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 You'll need to provide many more pictures and of better quality than that to find definitive answers to your question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caintuckrifle Posted March 16, 2020 Author Share Posted March 16, 2020 A rough idea is fine. Mostly looking to know if it's an old anvil or a new one and whether it's any good or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris C Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 I don't think you'll even get that much info with that picture............and only one shot of it. Most of the folks who could identify it need to see the configuration of the feet, any markings on it they could identify, weight, size of the face, etc., etc., etc. " Whether or not it's any good"? Do you know the rebound percentage? The only rough idea I can give you is it's an anvil. I don't want to sound mean, but I've got a Dodge Van in my back pasture. Can you give me any idea how much it's worth? Of course you can't. Take some more pics. Get some more information. Then the experts on the forum might be able to help you.

ThomasPowers Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 A good anvil is one that passes the ball bearing test; Doesn't matter WHO made it---you can have a bad anvil made from a great maker---if it's been through a fire. You do not need us to run the test you can do so and evaluate it yourself. That type of anvil should also pass the ring test. Does it have an indentation in the base and if so what shape? My guess is that it would be made after 1900 and so not an "old" anvil and I think it would probably be a good anvil. TEST IT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
