Anvils

[JasperCountyNative]

Anyone know anything about antique anvils?

I have an old "J. Wilkinson & Sons; Queens Dudley" 138# anvil.

Any idea what these things are worth?

The last anvil I saw sell at a local farm auction went for $400+....I don't have a clue what kind or the age.

Its completely worthless, you need to send it here.

Ha, I was going to offer the same ..... if you don't want to send it to TX.. I'll take it off your hands!

How many pounds is it? Also if it has a nice ring to it, it's a good one. I'll be glad to test it for you

It's 138 pounds according to the hundredweight system markings 1 0 26.

Nice ring, but kinda beat up a little on the right edge.

You're welcome. I love trying to find out about the "treasures" I pick up while I'm out and about. I call them "treasures" - some people (DH) call them "crap".
