roughrider Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 Hi I recently bought an old anvil but I am unsure of the brand. I tried searching the net for any imformation about it but I did not have much luck. So I thought that y'all might be able to help.well here go's.on the waist under the heel it is marked with a symbal that looks like either a "V" or an inverted triangle.right next to that mark is the weight which says "71" I weighed it on my scale and that is the correct weight.The mark and the weight are raised and not stamped I have been told that means that it was cast.there is also 1 hole in each foot for mounting it.other than this I do not know much about it the man that I bought it from said that it came from a school.by the way the anvil has great rebound I droped a large ball bearing on it from about 1 foot and it rebounded about 95%. Anyway any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scratch Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 Can you snap a pic of it for us...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 (edited) Is the mounting holes cast into the base sticking out like lugs or have they been drilled into it? Fisher is a brand with good rebound and a cast iron base with mounting lugs on some of their models.

roughrider Posted September 11, 2008 Author Share Posted September 11, 2008 (edited) Hi I remembered today that the anvil also has a rectangular shaped depression between the front feet I am guessing that it is about 3'' long. it also has another depression right above the one that I just wrote about but it is shaped differantly and is smaller(about 2''). any help would be great.

roughrider Posted September 11, 2008 Author Share Posted September 11, 2008 Also the holes do not appear to lug above the surface. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomasPowers Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 Not a Fisher or a Vulcan that I can see. Were the holes drilled or cast in with cores. (doesn't looked punched) If they were drilled it was probably a rtetrofit and not original to the anvil---especially with the mounting depressions part of it.
