Jmmass3264 Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 After my grandpa passed I acquired this little 10lb(or so) anvil from his workshop. Not sure the make. Very interested to see if anyone can help me determine who its by. Thanks for any help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 What country was it in? If you were trying to identify a used car you probably wouldn't guess Ford if you were in Russia or Lada if you were in the USA. If it doesn't have a steeled face then it could be any of hundreds if not thousands of small foundries. If it has a steeled face then it might be a Vulcan or II&B or a number of other companies that made steel faced cast iron larger anvils. I had an II&B that was 32 pounds; how much does that one weigh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jmmass3264 Posted December 16, 2020 Author Share Posted December 16, 2020 (edited) located in the USA. Haven't thrown it on a scale yet but seems around 10lbs Edited December 16, 2020 by Mod30 Remove @name tag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 On the chipped edges, doe is show any signs of there being a change in material near the face? 10 pound bench anvils were sold by *many* different companies. You might check out the old Sears Roebuck catalogs for instance and see if you find one with the same configuration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 We won't remember you are in the U.S. (which is a very large place) hence the suggestion to edit your profile to show general location. Also the use of the @name tag is frowned upon here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
