Brey Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 Hello all, I've had this anvil for several years now but haven't been able to figure out what company/made of/date/style. Any help at all would be really appreciated! It weighs about 120 lbs. Its 20 inches from horn to the end of the face and about 9 inches in height. As you can see there are no handling holes and it has a flat base. The only marking that I can see anywhere on it is the 12 at the bottom. I have a copy of Anvils in America and couldn't find anything that quite fit its description but if you find otherwise please let me know! -B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomasPowers Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 It's cast, does it have a steel face? What is the ball bearing test result and the ring test result? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brey Posted April 29, 2020 Author Share Posted April 29, 2020 I don't believe there is a steel face and I don't have a ball bearing to test it but I can tell you that a hammer hardly has any rebound and it doesn't ring. Might it be all cast iron? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Yes Brey, if there is no steel face it's all cast iron. We call those ASOs, (Anvil Shaped Objects) it's a decoration or boat anchor unless the hardy hole is a good size then it's an alternate place to use bottom tools. Frosty The Lucky.
