How many of Y'all can say you own something your great great Grad paw owned... This anvil has been handed down my Uncle Pee Wee (Rosser) had it in his shop he has passed away. Every time I went into his shop I Looked at it every time I got to hammer on it I broke a sweet on it knowing those before me broke a sweet on it... I had to leave my mark... Rosser ask me to put his bent up mower deck back together around the first of the year... I drug it out and used it to straighten some parts I was not going to miss a opportunity that may be my last to use it.... Well the parts were spose to be bent like they were I got to beat on the anvil some more to undo what I had done... I was in his shop today and made the comment before Y'all throw any thing away that Y'all don't know what it is let me look at it first... Aunt May said you know that big thang in the back of the shop Rosser wanted you to have it. I said "whut big thang" she said "That big thang that belonged to your Great Great Grand paw Rosser wanted you to have it" I said "that anvil" She said "Yes".... I can tell Y'all its a honor to be thought of this way I am blessed... ( Y'all Wimmins may not understand but I can tell ya the Men folk does) NOW the BIG question do I clean it up are treasure the sweet and blood that has found its way on it... ? I plan to add some more every chance I get and think about the ones before me... I would guess its a 150lbs it was all I wanted to lift it on the table...
