Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 How much does it weigh, any other markings? A couple more pictures like the other side, underside of the base, horn and tail may help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBinKC Posted February 7, 2021 Author Share Posted February 7, 2021 I think it's about 85 pounds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Rondell cast proud: Fisher? (Vulcan's don't have that much of a step down.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBinKC Posted February 8, 2021 Author Share Posted February 8, 2021 Not sure if this will help anyone.. Just found a another view Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Hmm more I stare at that rondel the more I think it looks like the bust of a person wearing a soft hat. ISTR seeing one like that in AinA; maybe I can look in it at lunch today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rustyanchor Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Logo looks to me like a Spartan/Roman type warrior profile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BartW Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 The profile is really similar to a vulcan arm 'n hammer anvil, but almost modified, thicker faceplate, wrong logo.. The casting on the foot is almost identical to a vulcan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomasPowers Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 I'm wondering if it was supposed to be Vulcan...(which would explain the profile as well.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 I think this is an Ajax anvil made by the Columbus Forge. Here is an old thread about them. Also could have been made by the Illinois Iron & Bolt Co. (II&B Co.) early makers of the Vulcan anvil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 YES; that's what I have been misremembering! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rustyanchor Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Woo Hoo Mystery solved! I am always amazed at the breadth of knowledge of the members on this site. P.S. My Ajaxx is much nicer....and cuter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
