I think if it as a horseshoeing subscription.:) Its a win for both of us. Hes going to get me a smaller farrier anvil and trade out some shoeings. So places like Ohio which was thickly settled and had a thriving industrial base have an abundance of anvils (3 anvil manufacturers) while NM was fairly light on population back in the day and so light on native anvils now.Ĭan someone help steer me to some groups in California I can check with Id prefer to sell my anvil without palletizing and shipping it if possible. It would be nice to see what it was like back then (except for the disease and hardships, of course). Grinding or milling the face is a bad thing to do I generally will not buy an anvil that has had this done to it as it has the capability of destroying its usability or at least cutting the use life WAY WAY down.Ī decent anvil of the size you have will go for 2 to 3 dollars a pound in an anvil poor state like New Mexico. Is generally considered OK PAINTING is NOT-As painting is sometimes used to hide flaws I discount the price of a painted anvil to reflect the risk. Location pays a part too anvils where I live now are 50-100 higher priced than where I used to live. They are also much cheaper than the good modern anvils usually at least 12 the price of the same size good modern one. I did know enough to know that antique anvils are sought after. Hopefully, someone can tell me what year this was manufactured. If you want the whole list of sn and dates I suggest purchasing a copy of Anvils in America, excellent reading and supports Mr Postmans research efforts. Look on the edge of the base under the horn for a serial number. If someone has a copy that they could look up that information, that would be great.
Theres a 1 -space- 52 stamped on the right side under the company name, etc.). The serial number of it is 173158 If you can tell me the year and anything else interesting about it, that would be great Thanks for your help, Chris. I dont know what it weighs, but on the side it says 55, but to mee it seems like it weighs more than 55 LBS, it is definatly less than 100 LBS for sure. The anvil is a Lakeside, so it says on it and with what research I have done it looks like it was made by Hay-Budden and sold through Montgomery Wards. I would be interested in knowing the year of the anvil I recently picked up. For a better experience, please enable JavaScript in your browser before proceeding.
