Chris P Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Has anyone heard of this kind of anvil? Is it a quality type, or more cheap/generic? I've been looking around for kind of a while and now found someone one Ebay with several anvils for sale in Mass. Life has been pretty busy but I might finally be able to set up a makeshift shop until I'm done with my "shed." Thanks all for the help.

philip in china Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Beware of ebay sellers who just happen to have a load of anvils to get rid of. They are usually traders and you are quite likely to get ripped off! Is there a huge, non refundable delivery charge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt87 Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Sure it's not Sheffield? That city was the heart of British steelmaking for 3 centuries and produced some xxxxxx good tools. Perhaps it's a case of 'This Brand, Sheffield, England'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larrynjr Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 post a link to the anvils so we can take a look, would help to I.D. them better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larrynjr Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Is it this one?"HADFIELD and SANDERSON SHEFFIELD" ENGLISH ANVIL - eBay (item 150286751799 end time Aug-28-08 11:56:22 PDT) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragons lair Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Larry that one is not in Mass. Chris if the seller is 69 Chuck he seems to list some nice ones but is real proud of them. There is a big PW listed in Conn 203lb at $75 with about 5 days left. Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 If it is the one in Larry's post it looks to be a quite old one---I think the pritchel was drilled later as it doesn't show signs of being punched on the bottom and so was probably a retrofit; so probably made prior to 1820. It is still in quite usable shape and would make a good beginner's anvil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris P Posted August 28, 2008 Author Share Posted August 28, 2008 here is the link to the Anvil 104 lb anvil/R2 - eBay (item 300223529933 end time Sep-06-08 08:13:30 PDT) And yes, the seller is 69Chuck.. I'm guessing by the "real proud of them" your saying he wants too much $? I did see the 203lbs one, however, 5 days is long enough for that to jump to $300, actually the prices usually spike in the last few hours. Thanks for you help all, if you want to see the other anvils he is selling I'll post the links. I just try to avoid flooding sites with ebay links if I can help it. He has a decent Peter Wright and a 169lbs anvil as well, but the one linked above seems to be in the best shape.. judging with my untrained eye and all.
