Score (I think?)!

[defaultuser]

Hi all,

I recently bought this anvil...I'm SO looking forward to bang hot steel on it

The bounce seems to be pretty good, and it apprears to be in great shape...but I'm far from knowing what I'm talking about - you guys let me know, please!

depending on weight, and what you paid for it, I'd say you got a pretty nice anvil. and the hardy tools look very useful.

congratulations

I didn't weigh it, but it is heavy and big

Should have measured it, though...I'd guess 20/24 inches long, from tip of the horn to the back.
I coulnd't see any inscription on it.

Price was $300, including the hardy tools.

Looks like a decent anvil. Might be a Peter Wright(looks a lot like mine).
I would say about 150-160#'s ...about 2 bucks a pound. I would say it's a score!:thumbup:

Looks pretty good to me to. Sounds like you got a pretty nice deal.

 

[Phil Dwyer]

And its in good shape. Often all the edges are rounded and chipped out. Looks like you have some good crisp edges. I like the long narrow shape of the horn too. And all those hardy tools. Very cool score!

Saweet! I would venture Peter Wright also. In better shape than mine by the way.

I agree with the rest of the fellows it is probably a P.W. a good score for that price:thumbup:. Mine is 150# and it is 26.5". So when sre you building the forge? I knew you would get the bug

...and this is $300 Canadian Can't wait to hear it sing it's song

Bob: the forge is slowly coming together...in my head I think I'll ask for hammers for Christmas

Can somebody explain what it might have been used for that would account for the tip of the horn being mushroomed like that?

 

[Chris Meyer]

Some idiot, perhaps dropping it, would be my guess.

It looks like the Peter Wright I own. The weight may be stamped into the body on one side. It would probably be in English Hundreds weight.

I was thinking they smashed it in on purpose to keep from running into it?
Got tired of poking him self..........

That's easy, something the horn was never designed to do!!
