![]() I was thorn between leaving it as you say "history", or removing it.Ĭonsidering that the story and name if believed, hinted to something of dubious origin. The anvil had a name and surname stick welded to the side in large characters. so he hid it in the family garage, covered it with a tarp, and it remain there till the day I bought it from the guy now in his 60 ties. whatever that meant, no explanation given. He told me that when he was 15 a friend of the family asked him to "get rid of this anvil for me". I bought an anvil once, in a very expensive suburb and asked the owner how he came by this anvil, considering the houses in that area are 5 millions and up and clearly no one is smithing anything. Kinda like the hand powered benchtop drill press on the back corner of my assembly table. I now find it interesting, not how I would have mounted it originally as I don’t like molesting my tools but it’s rock solidly mounted now & the old man once again gets put back to use. I couldn’t make up my mind until the last minute. Then I realized it wasn’t done to an old anvil it was done to a tool, just another piece of equipment in the eyes of the company. You know when I found this for sale & saw it for the first time I was irritated that someone would do this to an old anvil.
