188 Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Does anybody here in MS know anything about this anvil? Its for sale out of Arizona but is said to be manufactured in Louisiana. I've not heard back from my email inquiry. Seems like a resonable prices for a 4140 anvil.ANVILS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myers4768 Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 have never heard of these. i would make sure these are not just resurfaced anvils. if this is the case the price is not good at all. If you get one please let me know how it works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Cast 4140 should make a fine anvil. Price seems competitive. Frosty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigwill Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 These anvils are said to be made up the road from me in shreveport. I have yet to find the manufacture in shreveport, nor do i know of anyone who has used one. I have however seen them on display at jantz supply in davis ok. It had decent ring to it. Hope this helps.

Bentiron1946 Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 These people are in Arkansas not Arizona. Nice looking anvil no matter where it is.:cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlotte Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 The Anvil reference is to Arkansa. The site is run by a machine shop that is evidently finishing the anvils. Some what like one of the Farrier houses is doing. The only Louisiana Foundry that is likely to produce these anvils is at Amite, Louisiana. There is a Hauser Foundry in that has been, to the best of my knowledge, non-ferrous, dealing with Aluminum for the most part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wassomeoneelse Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 (edited) I talked to the gentleman that owns the farrier supply house that sales that anvil today. He stated that the anvil is made in Shreveport, LA. I didnt get into specifics with him like what company, etc. Figured if he wanted me to know, he would have told me. But now, I wish I had. He was in Covington at Buddy Leonard's shop. The Gulfcoast Blacksmith Association was having there annual meeting. Jim Batson was the guest demonstrator there. The gentleman that I am talking about was there tailgating. I forget his name. Thanks Bryan Edit: He had three styles of anvils (as far as size/weight is concerned)on display and for sale. They seem to be finished nicely and the pricing was not to bad at all compared to other companies that sale new anvils. He also had an assortment of firepots that were not outrageous in price. I will have to look up the guys business name. Edited April 26, 2009 by wassomeoneelse Add information Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
