That's just a baby single beak I've got one of those
That needs refacing by the look of it from piccies.
Check the note of the anvil with a hammer. All the way along it should have a different note which should ring off just a drop lightly of the hammer and the hammer should feel lively against the surface. If it falls dead it needs refacing
blue beasty
Leaks an prone to bits dropping off

I could pick it up and then bring it down as far as Yeovil on the 30th

I got one that's hollowed enough to hold 1/2 pint of water

Sacrilege!!!!! I'm cringing at that!
Makes such a difference to have a decent face on it. Just tedious building a new one up.

Trewey, there is an ex navy surplus scrap yard in st Mary Bourne on all the old boats they had a smiths forge. The scrap yard is full of fly presses, anvils, (tanks) and the majority of them are in great nick

Where's that? Google maps brings up central Birmingham?
Do they have a web site?

It's in Hampshire st Mary Bourne. Trying to think of the name of the yard, he's moved up the road from where he was I know that much.
(Not much help to you though as you don't know where he started off
)

I think it's J Hirst and sons.
Worth a call
One section of the yard was military scrap, the other section which was equally worth a good rummage was a bit more general. But it's not heaps of metal it's useful stuff. And well worth a call, and a day trip
I've not been for years but it was great

Oo they hold their value massively, I got mine for 150 about 5 years ago, they don't really drop their value at all
I have a second one, which I still have no idea where it came from
I'd have had to have moved it and they aren't subtle
Another chunk of my memory gone :doh:
