Hello Hivemind,

please could anyone help my identify this 320lb double horn? Recently purchased from a slate mine in rural wales, Britain.

Id also be interested to know if anyone regularly imports anvils and such from the UK to the USA, I have quite a few to sell.

thanks in advance :-)

Hi guys, the weather is awful here so sorry for only just coming back. I would say it's cast steel rather than cast iron, it does have a ring when you strike it. Might get around to making a nice three leg stand for her this weekend.

thanks! 

Hi Guys, thanks for coming back to me! 

Shes a big girl, I have a few Brooks anvils but they almost always say Brooks, even the later ones since Vaughan and Brooks merged.

Thomas, do you think this is cast iron with a tool steel top? Or cast steel? 

Can you advise how I tell the difference?

thanks in advance 

Hi Guys, a big hello from Manchester England!

thanks for taking the time to check out my anvil.

could anyone help identify or give me any information on this anvil? I recently bought a job lot of stakes and bought this beauty on a bit of an impulse, I just fell in love with her! 

Its only marking apart from the weight is "A". It's a 3 1/2 cwt.

i guess it may need to be identified by the shape?? 

Many info would be appreciated.

kindest regards,

paul

Thanks guys, I'm struggling to find anything about homer and mountford accept the fact they they were bankrupt in the 1880's, do you you guys think the shape of the anvil would be consistent with this date? 

Thanks

Hi All, 

just broken my back rescuing this beauty from a farm in Newcastle UK. 

long time since I've been on the site, forgive me guys, but can anyone tell me anything about this anvil? It's a homer and mountford, says *BEST* (I assume that means it's a decent casting but not sure)

Does anyone know what the 7.5 means? I've consulted the guide on here but I'm no wiser, I assume it's at least 3 1/2 cwt. 

many info would be greatly appreciated. 

Thanks in advance
