Thanks, Frank. It's definitely been beat up, but I'll look for the lettering in the box.

Thank you! I'm near Portland, Maine, USA.

Hello folks, Any idea what maker this leg vise might be? I think it might be a Peter Wright, as it looks similar to a bigger one (250#!) that a friend has (haven't seen it live, only in photos). He's sending me a spring, so that's covered. Is there any marking I should be looking for?

Hi everyone, A friend suggested a 3-hour beginner blacksmithing class through community ed, and now we're both hooked! It's been about 2 months, and I've managed to cobble together a couple of good hammers, a RR baseplate for an anvil (they're hard to come by!), and a charcoal forge like the one built by Swallow Forge on Youtube. Like everyone, I'm in search of an anvil that doesn't cost as much as my house payment. I'm committed to charcoal forging, as I don't want to deal with the disposal of clinker (not to mention the fossil fuel aspect and the cost).
