Ha no Bentiron no worries there, all it got was a wire brush and a light coat of oil! Taking a grinder to it would be the last thing id do and even then I wouldn't! As an update I have been told its British but not Peter Wright or Mousehole and dates at 1840-1860? Oh and that the notcth under the Hardy hole is unusual in a British anvil. I know Im probably grasping at straws her trying to find this info but I like to know history/heritage/lineage of all my things.

Thanks for the info will try to get it on the scales tomorrow, any ideas on date/maker?

I am hoping someone can help my identify this anvil. I purchased it off a guy who told me it was a chain makers anvil but after a little research I believe its a coach/carriage makers anvils, is this correct? Other than that I don't know anything about it, it has the numbers 1 3 and a small on on side.

Any help would be much appreciated

Thx
