Hello - I'm new here, and new to blacksmithing, but I've been reading around the forums a bit as they come up regularly in my searching. I picked up my first anvil today (I had an ASO before). The guy selling it thought it was a newer no-name anvil and about 135 lbs.
I think that i's actually a 171 LB Peter Wright. Of that much, I am reasonably sure, but I'm wondering what else you folks can tell me about it (like an approximate age?). The only other marking I can find is a Z with a couple of dots.
He also threw in a bunch of stock, a hot cut hardy and a couple of hammers. I've attached pictures of the hammers and hardy too in case anyone knows anything about those.
Edit: sorry about the small pictures. The forum shrank my originals.
Yes, that is for fast viewing. If you wish to see larger images, just click on the thumbnail
