I'm looking for an anvil. I want one that still has "sharp" edges. If you've got one taking up space shoot me a PM.

I'd like to have one too. A year or 2 ago some asshat posted up some vises, a few anvils, some stainless tables, etc and then never returned my calls or PMs. Never did figure that one out.

Bump for second place on the anvil list


I firmly believe that a double gallows should be constructed on the East Lawn of The White House. Politicians who willfully and shamelessly violate their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America should be swiftly tried and, upon conviction, publicly hanged at sunup the day after conviction. If multiple convicts are to be hanged they can choose with whom to share the gallows or names shall be drawn from the hangman's hat to be hanged 2 at a time.

Just curious...
What are anvils worth (other than what someone is willing to pay for them)? I found one under my house when we moved in. To me, it seems to be in fairly decent condition, though I don't know anything about them. Is there a website where I can see exactly what I have, value, etc?

If you are down in the Mobile area, you are more than welcome to meet up with me somewhere and I'll bring the anvil I have and you can make an offer on it.

They sell $per pound. I was in a knife and antique store awhile back and a guy came in looking for one. The owner told him they were hard to find, and he should expect to pay an amount per pound. Seems like it was $1 plus.

He also mentioned that you see a big difference in the older anvils and the newer "cast" anvils, which can crack with use.

I have a very old one my grandfather gave me. Probably weighs a couple hundred pounds and is solid.

I have my grandfathers old anvil also. I'm getting a big hardwood stump to put in my shop to sit it on.

Not to hijack your thread (consider it a free bump!)

Below is a picture of my dad when he was about 5 years old or so - sitting on a vise. That vise is sitting at mom's house right now and one day will be at my house. It originally belonged to his dad. They don't make it like this one anymore.



Jesus... I hope you know Him personally like I do.

Is that an old toy gun wrapped around his waist and under his right hand? looks neat. Those were the days.

Cool pic CR. If any of you guys run across one that wasn't handed down, give me a holla. I'd like to take a whack at some knife making.

I've never noticed before, and to be honest I can't tell in the pic.

Lots of makers I know use a small piece of railroad rail when starting out.

Not sure about in the year 2012 but it used to be illegal to posess any section of rail. Whatever the case I'd LOVE to have a piece about 2 feet long.

I saw this one on Craigslist. I don't know a thing about Anvils but thought I'd throw it out there.

If it's illegal to own any then I don't own any, but I do happen to know where a piece is laying that I can use. LOL

Thanks for the shoals craiglist posting ts1979flh. The edges are gone on that one. On a good anvil they would be sharp corners.
