JW513 Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Going to go look at it today or tomorrow. I don't need another one and I'm saving up for other gear, but for $250... he says it says 108 on it, so i'm thinking it must weigh 120lbs... Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anachronist58 Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Hello JW513, At an alleged $2/#, the price is right, but it looks as if it came out of a burned down building. Be sure to check the rebound, and hopefully, some keener eyes will ring in before you go to check it out... I would buy it just to pass a good deal to someone I know...

Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 The 108 may be the actual weight. Hay Budden anvils are marked in pounds not CWT weight. Even at $2.30 a pound if the ring & rebound is OK it's a bargain, especially if it turns out to be a Hay Budden. Look closely at the side with the horn pointed to the right, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caotropheus Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Check as well several spots of the top plate with a small hammer and/or ball bearing to see if there are no delaminations. Yes it looks like the anvil come out of a fire and was exposed to the elements for a long period of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan N Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 I would think the odds are in your favor at that price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
