Anvil is carefully milled and polished to provide exceptionally smooth working surfaces. Perfect for flattening or forming a wide range of metals, the brawny cast-iron G8147 55 lb. Anvil These handsomely finished anvils are a welcome addition to any workshop. Anything less than almost-new would be a good purchase as long as the price is commensurate.Grizzly G8147 55 lb. The Blacker in the photo looks to be almost-new and would demand almost-new pricing. The more chipped and dinged they are, the less value, in my opinion. The key thing is the quality of the face and edges on the anvil. If you can get another anvil and a nice stand for half the money, go for it. It might not be a Fisher, but they'll certainly get the job done! And I never mind saving money. While Fisher's are top-of-the-line in my opinion, I could get by quite adequately with another maker. A narrow/thin heel comes in quite handy when you're making forks and the like. If you have the opportunity to buy a similarly sized anvil from another maker, and the owner of the Fisher isn't being real courteous, buy one of the others. Seems like you've answered the question of the day right there!įisher's are genuinely great anvils, but the thick heel on the Blacker version can be something of an issue depending on what you're trying to do. and both are about half or less $ then the fisher.kinda on the fence with this one. both these sellers answer my responses every time I ask a question . ones a 340 lb. Have a couple other nice anvils I'm interested in besides this one. I have a couple other nice anvils I'm interested in besides this one.
but when someone advertises something for sale and you get several responses of interest and phone calls you would expect to get a reply from the seller at some point. Hello VaughnT !! I understand about getting busy we all do. They're not as awesome as Fisher anvils, but being smaller, lighter, easier to move and easier on the wallet isn't necessarily a bad thing. You certainly don't need an anvil that size, so if mobility is more important you could easily make do with a smaller Hay Budden or the like. The only caveat I'd add to all that is to consider what you're planning and what you hope to accomplish.
I've been keeping my eyes open for some thick plate or an old cast iron stand to go with my Fisher, but haven't had any luck.
You'll never want for a bigger or better anvil, that's for sure. While anvils of that size do present some problems when you're doing different things, they are an absolute dream 99% of the time. My main anvil is a 300# Fisher and I've never been happier. Like BGD says, folks can get busy with all kinds of things. I believe I will pass on it, I have a couple others I'm leaning toward. Thank you ThomasPowers !! this one isn't cheap in my opinion. As for a pritchel hole, easy enough to have a disk of metal with a spiral of differing size holes to be used over the hardy hole. If you do get it: I make bottom swages for those large hardy holes by buying trashed top swages and forging the mushroomed hitting end down to fit the hardy holes-I got a large screw press that is a treat for making flat parallel sides on the stems. Mine came from a RR repair shop, when it closed the anvil went to one of the workers there. I've seen several at Quad-States over the years-including the one when I was asking Postman about this odd Fisher I had bought with an inset on one side and he laughed and told me to walk up the row a bit and there was one with the hammer.I got mine *DIRT* *CHEAP* so much so that it's been suggested I endow a religious order to pray for my soul to avoid the problems of sulfur contamination when forging in the afterlife. do you mean the $$ this seller is asking is generally the going price ? or what every any seller is asking at anytime is generally the going price ? do these turn up often ? thanks, John Thank you njanvilman !! I did see photo with a couple of these in your museum last night while looking around to find out what this was. I already have two in the museum or else I would have owned it already. The $$ they are asking is generally the going price for these.

There 'might' be a serial number on the anvil. If the base is in the way, the anvil can always be removed and a custom base fabricated. Negatives= Working around the cut-out portion. That anvil was made by Fisher for the Blacker hammer.
