ACME anvils?
@davidmeyer69087 жыл бұрын
+pixelpatter01 The funny thing about that is that ACME anvils were a real thing. According to "Anvils in America" by Richard Postman, ACME existed as a trademark of anvils made by the Columbus Forge and Iron Company and sold by Sears and Roebuck in the early 20th century. This is the same company that made the solid Trenton model, so it is likely that Wile E Coyote was at least using a reasonably decent anvil for his many traps.

First go to a part of the forest where anvils are commonly spotted on trail cams. Then set out some bait. Some 1000° knives should do as there natural forging instincts will draw them in. Then when they are close enough hit them on the head with a short handle sledge. This will temporarily stun and confuse the anvil. And there you go you now have an anvil.

That is indeed a fine anvil!! I've got a small shop in a farming community, and anvil was offered about ten years ago, brought in, 150 for a 1917 Fisher, with a similar laminated hard face. It is chipped on the off edge, but as you say, and it's relatively flat, not worn out, and sound. I'm very pleased with it, as you say, made when men knew how to work and weren't afraid to. I think an age like that is coming on. I was considering welding up mine, but am convinced it's just fine, haven't even cleaned it, just mounted it and put it to use. Thanks for sharing this, enjoyed watching you fettle it up, and make er pretty. Semper Fidelis.

I think it's about time you had that talk with your son that you have probably been dreading. He's at that age where his father needs to take him aside and explain one of the more unpleasant facts of life. It's time you tell him that he has a thing called "Plumbers Crack". It isn't bad now but it will get worse as he gets older "and fatter". Though he has "Plumber's Crack" it isn't the "end" of the world. Explain to him gently that if he is really careful, buys the right trousers along with a very strong leather belt, and is always mindful that he has "Plumber's Crack" especially when bending over or on his hands and knees lost in his work, then he can avoid those embarrassing moments when, friends, family, customers, and the ladies look away behind his back with that disgusted look on their faces like they just walked up on a dead dog and smelled it all at the same time. He has probably noticed that a few people who he was working with suddenly had a completely unexplained change in their demeanor that he cannot understand. He has thought about talking to you about it "butt" was too embarr-assed. One minute everything is friendly and the next it is like he has cooties or something. Take the lead, be a father and break it to him gently and most importantly, let him know that "Plumbers Crack" doesn't have to ruin his life.

I insisted "let me get down there and do that!" It had no effect as he was a big show off. It was around this time I noticed, he had again forgotten his belt on this day. The image still haunts me, and the questions still remain, "how can a man's ass be so white, yet so hairy?" I have since learned to cope with this pain but it is contagious, that is why I always have a spare belt in my toolbox.

I got my anvil from a guy on craigslist last year. 120 lbs, decent condition with a few pretty good edges, he sold it to me for $275. He also had a 100 lb he was selling too. You can definitely find them, sometimes you just have to be patient.

Collectors. There's no accounting for them. Back when pedal tractors were hot, I watched a real, running Farmall M tractor sell for $1000. A little bit before that, a pedal tractor M had sold for $1500! At an auction last year, there were empty John Deere 55gallon drums from the 60's. They sold for $2000! More dollars than sense. How many people paid thousands of dollars for beanie babies that are now worth nothing? That anvil will never forge again, until it gets sold away from the collector....

On craigslist, FYI, you can set up a notifier so that when something that passed your search criteria shows up, you get an email right away. Found it very helpful in the past!

Old rich folks running around paying $400 for these anvils. Run up the price and are the reason my young folks can't find one when they want to get into the hobby. I've been looking for 2 years Every time I find one the owner is some 80 year old woman who thinks she has a nugget of gold. One lady wanted $300 for a 100 pound anvil that had been broken in half.

I was looking at this minute at a Kohlswa Swedish anvil in Sweden for $800 120 pounds I have seen a lot of anvils when I was younger but never thought about it but now when I got older and you thought me about anvil I will have my eyes open. I live in Northern Sweden above the arctic circle.

Yep, that's definitely Oregon. Look at that green moss sidewalk. Nice find on the anvil.

My only Anvil is made by Trenton, 100lbs, and I indeed found it at a garage sale. Didn't know it was there. Just got lucky :). Thanks for sharing your story!

When I lived in oregon I used to see these on craigslist for 300-400 all the time. Never knew they were worth that much.
