Hi. Black frog. Not the best at computers. better with a hammer. How to get your pm?

Thanks frosty. I have owned several anvils over the years and this anvil is by far the best find.

 For now it will be knives. Maybe a little big. But I like these big anvils. I'm just starting out on forging. I will be trying  my hand at making little item's  and then working up to bigger things. Still doing some thinking on it. Plus I need to get tools

Thanks for that comment. Not sure I want to sell it. I'm giving myself some time to mull it over. I like this anvil a lot there's something about it. If it could only talk.  I'm wanting a 200# or bigger anvil . and to get there I eiher keep this anvil and save my money or sell this one. 

Thanks. Any idea about the #88?

Does the # 88 mean anything maybe the year it was made. Was it the 88th one made in the factory?

Thank you Black Frog for the information you sent me it gets me started to know something about this anvil. I like knowing the history as much as i can. Finding out if it was made in the 1800s is what i'm looking to find out.

Found how to put where i live on my profile Thanks

I found #s 88 under the horn on the base.

I have started a search and so for nothing on this anvil. Any books you know of that I could get that would have information?

Here are some pictures of anvil.

at bbottom it shows the #  145

Hi. 

I have recently bought an anvil. Initials on it are EDK&C under that is Solid Wrought and at the base 145 which i assume is the weight. Anybody have any information or where i can look to find information about this anvil. 

Thank you Jon
