rsilver4 Posted February 7, 2009 Author Share Posted February 7, 2009 Could possibly be cast steel ,don't know,if so it would be worth it.I personally would want to put a hammer to it:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Dean Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 I have to TOTALLY agree with Quenchcrack. Cast Iron ASO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pault17 Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 I know that I haven't seen any more of the russian submarines from HF, but I got mine for less than a dollar a pound. that one there scares me. YOu can buy a better pieces of scrap metal to bang on for less than 200 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
element Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Yea looks like an expensive piece of iron in the shape of an anvil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quenchcrack Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 (edited) If that hardie hole is 1", that anvil CAN'T be 17-5/8" long!!!! It is more like 9" long which means it CAN'T be 100 lbs. Very suspicious. They also have a 55# "steel" anvil and a 9# "Drop forged" anvil that look just like the cast iron ASO's sold at HF.

unkle spike Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 It would be pretty unhandy to have a pritchel that comes out the very bottom of the anvil? I don't see this one being very good, and I have an HF ASO in reserve, so I know a marginal anvil when I see one. Price is pretty high too.

larrynjr Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 It looks like it was carved from styrofoam then painted to look like anvil color. POS in my book. buyer beware!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Sells Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 I have noticed a few of the budget places also are on a tight budget with it comes to their advertising, and server space too. For example a few used the same photo for all the anvils they sell. I noticed that when I enlarged the pic that they each had the same name and file size. I would not be surprised if this place share photo;'s too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orgtwister Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 i would say its cast to if you look under the heal you can see the parting line in the casting and i would question it shape also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Einhorn Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 At the risk of being repetitious, I recommend joining your local blacksmithing group and trying out the equipment that other people have. Then you can make an educated decision. You can also find out what excess equipment members of the group may wish to sell or trade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
