[TheForge] New Anvil!!

[Rick at Rafter Lazy C]

Hello again all -

    I wonder if anyone else has noticed that the zeros are replaced with a
capital C?  This is what all the zeros on my anvil are.  Anvils in America
said nothing about it, that I saw.  Maybe that was just something common
back then?  Maybe I got the only one that is a real fake?  Makes me wonder!

Rick, that sounds suspiciously like the same anvil I bought a few months ago
in Thomasville, Ga. We negotiated the price; I paid the guy and went to get
the truck. When I returned, another guy was hugging it. I said "Quit
drooling on my anvil, you'll rust it". We exchanged pleasantries and I told
him it was the very same anvil Wiley Coyote used to chase after the
Roadrunner. By the way, an antique dealer told me yesterday an anvil isn't
an "antique" until it's over 100 years old although A guy at the local flea
mkt has several China cast iron ASO's for which he wants more than I paid
for the Acme. I will look under the heel of mine, but I suspect it is an
initial of Mr. Ulrich who forged it.
