Rachelleah Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 We bought a house and found this old anvil in the garage. I love it and want to use it for decoration. But, I keep having people that want to buy it. So, I thought I would try to come up with a price for it. However, I can’t even identify it. The only markings I can find are the 70 below the horn. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I’m hoping I can add pictures in the comments. I can’t figure out how to add them to the post.

arkie Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 Start a new post for your pictures. Scroll down to the bottom of the text pane and select "choose files": "Drag files here to attach, or choose files..." Select the pics you want and add to the post. Similar to how you attach pictures to an email. Sent the post and your pics will be attached. Don't send big multi-MB files..resize if necessary. Go for it.

TWISTEDWILLOW Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 Looks like a Vulcan to me, seems to be in decent usable shape, depending on where you live you should be able to get $2-$3 a pound on the low end and $4-$5 a pound top dollar, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 Welcome from the Ozark mountains. It does look like a Vulcan, but all of the Vulcan's I have seen have the Arm & Hammer with Vulcan cast into the right side. The early Vulcan's were made by the Illinois Iron & Bolt Company. Take a real close look for I I & B Co. stamped somewhere. Here is a picture of our Vulcan with the logo. Note the 10 cast in which is the weight more or less. I put it on a bathroom scale and it weighs 110 pounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TWISTEDWILLOW Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 I’m in Stilwell Oklahoma where bouts are you located? we have blacksmiths all over the state an there’s always someone looking for tools, to answer your question, you can sell it directly to a blacksmith or beginner blacksmith, you can take it to a blacksmith meet an probably sell it easy, id avoid consignment auctions an flea markets because they are gonna want 10% to 20% of your sale, You’ll do much better selling to an individual, we have a tailgate section here on I forge Iron that you can post it for sale on, at the top of the main pg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
