How He Found An Antique Anvil
 ✖  |
Robert McMahon, Knoxville, Tenn.: “The anvil in my shop is on loan to me from a friend. I haven’t been able to find one like it since blacksmithing is making a resurgence in our area and collectors have bid up the prices for good ones to $500 or more. The story behind this one is that the family who originally owned it buried it in the garden during the Civil War to keep the other side from confiscating it to melt down for munitions. After the war, no one remembered what happened to it. Decades later, someone found it when they hit it with a plow. I’m honored to have it in my shop.”
