Antique Salesman Sample & Miniature Advertising Anvils
Sales Archive
Small Anvils This is a small collection of miniature anvils, and continuing to buy or sell them presents a small dilemma as the nice examples seem to have pretty much disappeared from the real world marketplace over the last few years.
The Anvil Collection These 11 small anvil / paperweights represent the beginning of the de-accession process for some of our older collections which have stopped growing or for which we no longer have display room. Included here are some very nice and graphic examples of miniature blacksmith anvils not often found. I can remember being able to find these things almost anywhere you went shopping, but now all you see are the new re-pops of the Deere or other new ones that abound.
A few random notes about these. Top left is from Panama and marked 1912 to commemorate that important event in their history. Another is marked "Cal Poly". The second row left one has a lot of writing and looks like it would accept a hammer handle. Never saw that one before! The center one is marked "England". Some are unmarked but have great form. Front left is iron and marked heavily on both sides, and the other one in front is a Hoosier Stove advertising piece. All in all a nice representation. SOLD
Note: The above anvils were sold on eBay one at a time. The prices realized were as expected. The Hay Budden went for just under $200, and a couple brought $50.00-75.00 and the rest sold for $20.00 or less.
I do still want more and welcome your offers for new and different examples.
