DKForge Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 Yesterday was a VERY good day. Since starting blacksmithing only a couple of months ago I have caught a major case of Anvilitis and I am definitely part of the Blacksmiths Anonymous club. Yesterday I was fortunate enough to acquire two more anvils. This first is a Vulcan 2 1/2 which equates to 25#. It is in great shape and even has part of the label still on the left side. The second I still can't believe. It's a Fisher dated 1920 and has 45 on the foot. Yep a 450# Fisher. Does it have surface rust and did someone weld along the edges of the face a little to "help it" ...yes, but it is in great shape and is it a brute. I hope this is a sign of how the rest of the year will go. Quote
petere76 Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 Good hunting there DK. Year is off to a fine start. Peter Quote
Bentiron1946 Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 That Fisher is sweet. I have a big ex-Navy Fisher about that size.:cool: Quote
Frosty Posted January 12, 2009 Posted January 12, 2009 Nice scores DK. I may have to hate you though. Frosty Quote
ironrosefarms Posted January 12, 2009 Posted January 12, 2009 Hate is a mighty strong word Frosty, I just simply don't like him anymore! Nice catch, what pond did you say you have been fishing? Quote
jwmotley Posted January 12, 2009 Posted January 12, 2009 Great find DK!!! If you ever want to get rid of that Fisher let me know---I've came down with Fisheritis over the last 2 years! Quote
Matt in NY Posted January 12, 2009 Posted January 12, 2009 Nice! How is the rest of the face on the Fisher? Quote
DKForge Posted January 13, 2009 Author Posted January 13, 2009 Very flat clunks evenly along the whole face. Quote
