Found a tiny anvil yesterday, thoughts...

[razorhunter]

Fellas,
I was actually given a little small anvil last night from a fellow I met at work. He said the anvil was VERY old, and I looked it over, and it has no markings.
It is really small. Maybe 25 lbs or so?
Has the hole in the back of it.
It is straight across on the top, and the "point" of the anvil does not "flare up" toward the sky.
Just straight across.
I would like to know if anyone can tell me what it might be, or really what it may have been used for.
I will use it small work if I keep it.
Only issue is I can't resize my pics to fit BF's. Would anyone let me email them the pic, and resize it or post it for me? Thanks fellas...

Here they are. Whadda ya think fellas? Too bad it's not big and heavy... I'll find some use for it...

Looks like a section of R.R. track.

It would be good for silversmithing, jewelry making, folders...lightweight stuff.

Yes RR track, you can see that the base has been cut with a torch.

Nope, that's mine rail.
I have 3-4 anvils similar to yours. They are great for small stuff, peening pins, etc.

Hey fellas,
I found another one. These pics were just emailed to me, and I am still waiting for the gentleman to give me the approx weight.
The pics show the anvil sitting on the guys tailgate.
The base of the anvil says "1900" on one side, and "Fisher" on the other.

I cannot accurately guess as to what the weight is, or the value. Maybe you guys can.

I might snag this one up too, as he's not asking much, I'm sure.

What do you guys think?

 

[razorhunter]

Pics being resized again. Coming in a few....Hopefully...

 

[the45guy]

resized and sent...if they wont post let me know and I can host em for ya...sorry it took so long I was out in the shop putting the finishing touches on a knife

 

[razorhunter]

What you guys think??? Worth $50 or $75???

 

[razorhunter]

Can any of you fellas tell me if this 100lb Fisher is worth getting "resurface"/ refinished??? Is it even possible???
