Damn it is the other end of the country from me..... I'd really like to have gotten my hands on some of that gear especially the wagon wheel rim roller.

It'll likely be a cheap sale as the usual suspects have blown their money on last weeks museum auction.

Not enough info to warrant posting this one separate, but was flicking through the weekend paper and it appears there is another action on the 8th also with some forging tools

I'm out having a look at that auction, anvil lots are in the 400 lot numbers so not sure if will even go under the hammer before i have to go.
I dont know enough about anvils but some look pretty rough, like they either were not great quality to start with or bave had a pretty hard life.
Should have brought a hammer to see if they ring,youtube tells me this is how you check if its wrought iron or not
If anyone else from the forum is here feel free to say hello, im tall, wearing a backpack, bkack hat and sunnies
Cheers Wayne

Just got back from the auction. Went there for things other then anvils though still bought one home.
At the time I didn't know to look, and there were a crowd there, so didn't note the black hat'd backpacker.

411: $700
412: $600
413: $700
414: $700
415: $800
416: $700
417: $700
418: $700
419: $800 - the big one. Very rough.
420: $500 - P.I.
421: $700
Looks like one buyer bought three of the anvils.
I think the auctioneer sticking with $100 raises lost some bids.
Sundry...
The big cast bench press made $350.
D2 bulldozer $10,000.
Apparently many of the dozen odd Fergie's failed to make reserve.
