Hi, I actually posted this over on another thread, 37404-peter-wright, I hope I'm not breaking some sort of etiquette here by re-posting. I beg your forgiveness if I am but I'm not getting much traction on that thread..
I just picked up a PW at an auction last week. It's my first anvil. I have some questions about the markings. It sure looks as if it is stamped with "T T T18". It also doesn't say "solid Wrought" or "England" on it as nearly every PW I've seen. Does that mean it was made in America? Is there anyway of knowing how old it is. Any way of knowing if its the real deal or a wannabe poser? ;-)
I cleaned it up with a wire brush and it still rings like a bell with pretty good rebound. I'm pretty darned excited!
