January 11, 200917 yr 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.
January 12, 200917 yr 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?
January 12, 200917 yr 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!
