  1. are there any markings besides weight & serial #? any manufacturer marks would probably be on side with horn facing the right The markings and shape resemble my Trenton. A Trenton with that serial # would be 1910
  2. British weight markings...looks like 2-0-26 = 250 lb
  3. what a cool find! I'm jealous...I've dreamed of making a find like that! That's one of the nicest colonial anvils I've seen. I have 2 very similar to yours and they're "crooked" as well. Don't be afraid to use it...treat her right and you won't hurt it
  4. at the top of the page click on "Forums"...look under "I Forge Iron Forums" and you'll see "Feedback and Support"...click on "Tailgating/Buy/Sell" and you'll be there
  5. exactly what I was thinking. I had a bunch of them at one time but they all were mild steel (galvanized of course)
  6. Love the brass handles! Way too fancy for my shop though
  7. I saw one of these vises at a tractor show this summer but didn't know what it was...now I know!
  8. those are great looking hammers...nice job!
  9. nice job...VERY close to the original for doing by memory
  10. Hopefully someone will chime in with a good coal source for you but if you can't find coal near you consider using charcoal. I don't know if it's the same in Alabama but here is SC we can buy lump charcoal in places like Wal-Mart & Lowes...just make sure it's real charcoal and not the briquettes. You can also make your own charcoal. A lot of folks also use dried corn as fuel. I don't have any personal experience with corn I understand that it works great. Best of luck to you! By the way, walking the RR tracks is considered trespassing so I can't condone that BUT I used to do the same thing and had great luck! Amazing how much coal spills from the cars.
  11. Great advice. Concentrate on the basics. Practice, practice, practice
  12. that's a good deal with the tools included. I have a couple of Peter Wrights that I use regularly. They're great anvils
