I'd like to see a pic of that big anvil too, buzz. Hope Ted can post it for you. Roll her over and tell me what the three digit code stamped into the base says.
How many of you guys know how to look at an anvil and tell it's weight, by deciphering the code stamped in the base of it? Clue ........ hundredweights (112 lbs.), stones (28 lbs., or a quarter of a hundredweight), and pounds.

May God bless America and those who defend her.

Three feet of anvil? Watch your fingers if you try to roll it over! If it has typical proportions, I'd think it might be north of five hundred pounds.

Big anvil. From Buzz: Bet jOe could bust it. With his head. My friend has a similar anvil in his shop. It also belonged to his grandfather. It is mounted to a section of oak tree, maybe waist high, and held down with metal strapping. It is a monster, you need his skid steer to move it. Ill have to take a picture of it someday. I dont know if he still has the Hardy and the Pritchel tools for it. Best, Ted

Your pictures suck Tedward.. Another very simple concept that you dont grasp. Buzz took the picture. I just put it up. Dont you have a vise that needs to be broken? The one you think everyone should own? The vise that will never be a Wilton? Best, Ted

Thanks for posting the anvil photo Ted (and jOe). Stan, that thing has a huge metal plate affixed to the anvil feet, so I cant just flip it over. Id like to see the code too and understand what it means. I wonder if theres a date code on that thing? Id like to know more about it and where its been. If only it could speak.....

Looking at the edges of the anvil I wonder if someone used it as a welding bench? Too bad, but it is what it is.

Kinda looks like a rail road frog plate welded to it.
