Here are some pics of my new anvil. Like I said, it's an arm and hammer wrought iron anvil with tool steel face. The numbers on the anvil are: on the side of the body below maker's seal is a 9, the letter under the horn on the left is a C, and the numbers under the horn on the right are 17375. If anyone can tell me anything about this anvil, it will be greatly appreciated.

Hillbillysmith, the info I have on the serial# shows the anvil was made in early 1913. The C and the 9 are inspection marks. A very nice find at a good price.

Metalwebnews was where I got the idea of cutting from plate several years ago. As luck would have it I bid into a shapcutter job at work and was able to get the job done. Unfortunately, due to physical ailments, I've had to change jobs so it is a one of a kind ....sort of. Will post more later but thanks for advise- Dodge

This Is My Anvil Designe Which I Plan To Cast Out Of 6150 Somewhere In The East Of Europ Or Chaina.
Mounted On A 1 3/4 Plat And Glued To The Plat With Sikaflex 11 Fc
To Prevent The Ringing And Get A Much Beter Rebound (reaction)
The Thre Legs Out Of 2x4 1/4'' Wall R.h.c Welded To The Plat In 22 Degrees. The Plat Is Cut In A Way That Follows The Pateren Of The Anvil Base And There Are Holes In The Plate Under The Paralel Holes In The Anvil And You Can Easy Go Down To The Ground With The Steel Every Place Around The Anvil 3-4 Pritchle Holes And 1 1/4 Hardie Hole. The Base Is Squer And You Can Upset Around The Anvil

Ther Are Many Mor Advanteges To The Anvil If Asked I''ll Explain

As I stated earlier, my anvil was cut from 4" plate and is one of a kind. In the attached picture of stacked anvils, mine (before shaping of the horn and shelf) is at the bottom. The next from bottom was cut for 3" plate followed by a few others that I made just for novelty's sake The other picture shows the smallest I made. The key ring is intened to show scale. That anvil is 1.25" tall at the face and .75" wide. its 2.75" long from horn to heel with the horn being about .88". It weighs less than 2 pounds.
