  1. Looking for a touch Mark, stamp man are you still helping members out? Regards Rob
  2. Hello odd duck, how is your project doing? Looks great by the way. Very cool
  3. Nobody special thanks for chiming in but the only depressions are the weight marks. 101 H-B, I also suspect it's a columbian as there is a raised c on the front of the leg base and pretty well matches your description. Any idea what kind of steel would have traditionally been used in these anvils? Thanks Rob
  4. It appears that on on of the front feet there may have been something like a combination of numbers or letters or both but it is all so very worn that maybe it's my imagination. It's the foot below the heel. It looks like wrought with a plate to me as the base is very bubbly/poured sort of looking and the top is nice and smooth and looks like a weld line or at least a colour difference between metals.
  5. Here I was thinking peter wright or columbian. I just want to know if I can heat treat this sucker. Dan C, how does one make an edge hardy?
  6. Hello lads, I have had an anvil given to me by a farrier friend and it's in Rough shape, I want to have it refaced and reheat tested and tempered. Contacted a local heat treating outfit but I'm not sure what to tell them in regards to what kind of steel it is(they asked me to be specific and I don't even know what I have here) Only identifying marks are the stone weights it looks like 1 21 26' so I am assuming 1 2 26 since I was told it was 180lb anvil so 1 2 26 being 184 I assume that's the middle number is a two. That all being said it looks like a peter wright but the only other marks I could find after grinding with wire brush attachments etc(did this to my sodefers to find out what that one was) was what looks like a c on the base under the horn and a circular something on the base on the side with the hardy. Anyone seen this or know what's it is and what would be made of? Will post pics. Thanks Rob As you can see she is in rough shape but still has good rebound and no cracks as she still rings like a bell. Kinda tough to make tongs with out a sharp corner Not sure why all my pics are upside down but sometimes the ol iPad gets a little goofy.
