Today I picked up a 160# Vulcan! This is the first "real" anvil that I have bought. I paid $325 CDN for it (like $7US :P) with the block that its on, I don't think it was a bad deal. Its got great rebound, the face and edges are in great shape. I can't wait to start beating steel on it tomorrow! Let me know what you guys think. Here are the pics.

I think for $7 USD you got taken but to be sure you should ship it to me for testing and I'll let you know. :rolleyes:

Nice score and a fair price from what I see. Good for you.

Ok, so now you have your anvil, beware, there is a disease out there that makes us buy MORE anvils, even though we can really only work on 1 at a time, it starts with one, then a deal comes along, man I've got to have that one too!! You can see how it goes from there. It silently creeps into your mind that more hammers are good, more hardies, more tooling of every kind, and once you have the disease, there is no known cure. But we do have a support group, when you feel you are sliding down that slippery slope, make sure to admit it to yourself, then post on the blacksmiths anonymous thread, we will be waiting brother!!

True !


I only have about 12 of them...
Started with a 127kg that was a bit heavy to take to the rennfairs, so I bought a 50kgs. Then I heard that Kohlswa wouldnt continue with their C51 (48kgs) so...
:D

Yeah, I figure I'll be buying more. The guy I bought it from is an aniques dealer that specializes in tools and I left him my phone number:o. I'm sure I'll be getting some calls.:D

I did a quick check and a canadian dollor is almost the same value as an american dollar, so what did I or you do wrong calculating that????

But, excellent anvil, good find, now put it to use.

Sounds like you did good, enjoy it and use it as often as you can. I am now the proud owner of 3 anvils, 112 lb of unknown origin,280 lb Fisher and a 40 lb Fisher, and I want MORE!!!
