I just got a new toy after much searching. I haven't been able to find a decent anvil around here forever, and I do mean ever, I've been beating things off rocks and whatever I can find when I have to fabricate something which is just plain silly ,and yesterday I managed to find this jewel at a local farm auction where a widow was selling off her late husbands old goodies many of which had been in the family for three or more generations.
It;s a Peter Wright , but that's all I can tell for sure. The facing is heavily worn off, and most of the lettering is worn off and it appears that some of the numbering is worn off.
All that I can read is 1 1 1, but there appears to be something after the first 1 and before the second 1
I tried doing a paper and pencil rubbing and got nothing, I was able to see the most by pouring water over it in the shade, but that was the most I was able to come up with.
Ill throw out some dimensions and maybe someone can help with the weight on this thing becaus eit sure as heck felt a WHOLE lot hevier than 141 pounds , since the two of us that loaded the thing were both pretty stout and there was no lifting to it, all we could do was flop the thing over off the stand into the wagon and the noises the springs made were downright frightening, theyve never done that even with 5 people and full luggage ( I'm sure that chunk of hardwood strapped to it didn't help any ) The thing dodn't make those noises when I loaded over 200 pounds of 7.3 IH diesel cylinder heads in the back.
It's 22.5 in long , 10.5 high 4.5 in wide, 6.5 in wide at the narrow 10.5 in wide at base 9.5 in wide at base going other direction horn is 6.5 in hh roughly 1.25
