Hi Direwolf I am impressed to find out so, interesting history.. I just looking for a tool to start my workshop and got a piece of American history here in Brazil. I hope I can keep getting more information about my anvil, I would like to contact Mr Postman to add any other revelations. Next week I will be in MI USA and I will buy the AIA book for sure. One last doubt , is it plausible I try to repair the injured surface by welding process? I would like to improve its appearance....

Hi BF sounds really funny, it is a refurbished anvil, but I start to consider such possibility...

Thanks guys it is really a good start to help find out such weird mystery. Well I am sending more pictures, as you can see dspite the bruises on the surface it is in good condition and the hardness of steel plate seem to be preserved. Another curious fact is, if there are so few A&H pieces, how (and why) does this one come from USA to Brazil? I am affraid we never will know... Anyway here is the pictures...

Could somebody help me to solve this mystery? Recently I bought an A&H anvil serial number 224975 - 175# but for my surprise I found out there are no more than 51000 manufactured by A&H, The stamp in my anvil clearly it is the correct brand mark, so why the serial number it is so high? Is it possible it is a false one?
