Branson, Very interested in the mountain howitzer anvil description and pictures?? I think I have one  that I've come across completely by accident, blacksmithing for over 30 years and always buying and trading blacksmith tools of anvils, the one I have looks exactly like the one sold on eBay, describing it as a mountain howitzer anvil.. Quite familiar with the Civil War Reenactors, had a retail shop and catalog that I sold to them for about 20 years plus. Thanks, Bob

Bob, I've collected every photo and set of photos of this anvil I've come across.  Mostly, the images I have are too large to post here (not to mention there are enough to bore the rest of us.  Why don't you contact me directly at:

branson2@sonic.net

There seem to be two (at least) styles of these, an in one form or another they were issued from around 1840 to at least 1914.

Seeing this thread pop up again reminded me of some pics of one a fellow was showing to us on facebook in one of the blacksmithing groups. I saved them just to show you.

I'll resize them and post them here later this evening when I return home.

Branson,

Pictures of this anvil showed up over on Iforgeiron.com , I thought they might interest you. They show the anvil storing in the base of the stand. Looks cool to me!

Hope this helps!
