AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Small antique bench anvil in cast iron/steel (2 kg) – South-German double-horn style
Charming and sturdy antique desk anvil, featuring a classic double-horn configuration (one conical and one pyramidal), typical of the Central European forging tradition. On the side, the raised numeric mark "2" is clearly visible, indicating the nominal weight of about 2 kilograms, making it a perfect piece both as a practical bench tool (for precision work such as watchmaking, jewelry, or modeling) and as an original industrial decorative object. The item retains a beautiful patina of time, enriched by traces of old blue paint on the base that accentuate its vintage character and history. The top board includes the characteristic square hole (Hardy Hole) for holding tools.
Material: Heavy cast iron / forged steel
Weight: about 2 kg
Conditions: Good vintage condition, structurally solid with normal signs of wear and superficial rust blooms that do not compromise its integrity. (Please carefully view the photo gallery for aesthetic details).
A fantastic addition for collectors of antique tools, lovers of industrial memorabilia, or artisans. Tracked shipping and careful packaging guaranteed.
Dimensions: 18 x 7 x 7 cm – Weight: 2.2 kg
