tiny john deere anvils? c list

All,

Was looking at anvils, but ran across these. I am not associated with them.

Was this a dealer promotion? I guess they could be from any era, but unsure of why.

I would bet that some body had them made. Then they "aged" them by making them rust. Throw some dirt and fertilizer on them and let them set six months. They will look just like those you see.

A fellow here had dinner bells cast. Then he would bury them on bank by his barn with some fertilizer thrown in. He would them kind of brush them off and take them to sales. Guys would buy them up as antique dinner bells.

I think you're right, JD Seller.

Just recently, there's been a large influx of IH mini anvils on ebay. Too many to be genuine old ones, in my opinion.
