DKForge Posted January 11, 2009 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
