Josh, do any known anvils of this type exist today - just the "FISHER ANVILS" Brand? Post a picture if so!

I have recently been using DELFT Clay from the Netherlands I bout on RIOGRANDE dot com. For very small models (other than the nasty fumes) the detail and quality is really unmatched for sandcasting. Best of luck!

A hand forged wrought iron / blister-and-shear steel 20lb Peter Wright is NOT a 23lb Cast Iron Start Anvil. I hope were not making that comparison. That being said... ... I want BOTH of 'em

The Gunsmith of Williamsburg is the video to watch regarding this subject!! Youtube 'colonial gunsmith' and youll find a few videos that have survived the copywright barriage. Wallace Gusler is an amazing individual..

Friends, I just bought a Hay Budden with S/N 214483. It is marked with a small 134 in the middle (but it is not for weight, it is for 200# in hundredweight). It is second generation (having the top half tool steel at the waist) and is a Farriers Anvil - having 2 prichel holes and one end of the table is round. Can anyone tell me the date of MFG? or anything else about this anvil? I will upload a picture one I get it cleaned up (stainless steel wool, soap and water, WD40 and some elbow grease) Havent got my AIA book yet! Thanks!
