Obviously an Acme anvil. Google them for more info.

If you build the viewing panel the same size of a production model, you could get the replaceable sheets that most of the manufacturers sell to prolong the life of their viewing panel.

Thank you both. Exactly what I was looking for. A starting point. Now, as Frosty would say - I’m going to roll with it and circle back with findings. I’ll be careful not to slip these

Interesting. I knew you'd have an answer. I had just never seen marks like that and they were so clear. Seems like they were more careful in the lettering on that end than on the end marked Fisher.

With pointed remarks like that, he'll probably head on to the straight and narrow

Was going to add a handle. Just wondering what the capacity might be. Reckon I'll figure it by testing.

Anyone able to help?

Got this great little Fisher about a week ago. It is marked Fisher and an 8 and 1884. Just below the 1884 are the numbers 8 and 9 and an N. Was wondering what they might mean? Any ideas? Just a curious question more than anything

Just have a coke and a smile.

He’ll be jawing about this for a while

Just picked up this nice slip roll by Berkroy. Have no idea of capacity or ability of them. Does anyone have any info on them? The rolls are about 12 inches wide.

Understood Thomas and thank you for your clarifying statements. I have seen similar disparities with serial numbers and actual production on other manufactured equipment. I noticed another thing about these anvils ( in addition to the smaller #4 stamp). The arm and hammer logo on this anvil has the upper arm vertical as with some of the images on the 'net ( not Vulcan) while other arm and hammers have the upper arm horizontal Got me wondering if that was a consistent change, i. e., all anvils from a certain point had the logo stamped a particular way or if it varied depending on who was stamping Not that I'll lose sleep over it, but just something for me to think about

First, thank you. Second, that's Interesting that the closest it can be narrowed to is a 12 year gap. That's better than not knowing at all. I did figure it was towards the end of production since they supposedly only produced around 51,000 anvils according to previous posts on IForge.

Computer less friend just got this nice 115# Arm & Hammer anvil and was curious about when it was made. Does AIA have serial numbers and dates for these? If so, could someone look it up for me? Apparently someone lost the number 4 stamp as they are about half the size of the other numbers Thanks.

I share your opinion Daswulf

Pennberthy made steam injectors - google that. Might be a part of one.

They are Tearing an old building down on the other side of town. Giving away the coal in the bunker. Lots of fines, but I'll sieve them out and use them to help with the fire. Lots of scooping, but it's easier when it's free and for me! Little bit stiff today, but thinking of the forging ahead with it, brings a smile to my face. Oh, that's an 8x10 foot tarp for those wanting to know.

So we can't say "at your Service" until you find the book. Better hurry....... and welcome by the way......even though kilt wearing may make a UNIX out of you (sorry couldn't resist)

Make your anvil stand with provisions for adding wheels or the ability to at least lever up one side so you can get rollers under it. I moved my 350 pound anvil by levering it onto 1-inch pipe rollers and pushing it across the shop. Obviously engine hoists work as do hydraulic lift tables.

How did you guess, Frosty? Looks like she already knows first position!

Just got this petite 350 pound Peter Wright today and was trying to date it - and the help I am looking for is to see if y'all think it has "solid wrought" on the side. If so, It's 1860 or so to 1910. If not, 1852-1860. Here's the pics: I think I might see part of the word "wrought" just above the "0" in the weight ,markings (3 0 14): What say you? Oh, just in case you wanted an overall:

Saw a craigslist ad for a "196 pound anvil" - and I've been looking for a little bit larger anvil than the 140 pounder I use, so I went to take a look....long story short, came home with a 350 pound peter wright - 34 inches long and 5-1/2 wide face. I put my daughter's 112 pound Queen's Dudley Anvil on top for scale.

As long as it doesn't change your temper
