If you don't plan on selling it, it's priceless!

JHCC - great response and I definitely appreciate the mentality.  The question is just oit of curiosity.  I'm sure one of the first questions folks will ask is if I know what's it's worth.  If I can't find a approximate dollar value I'll be quoting your response for sure!  Thanks!

Made by Peter Wright in England---one of the big manufacturers

It is a Farrier pattern shown by the projection by the cutting step for making clips and the two pritchel holes

The weight: 1 0 12  is stamped in the CWT system and translates to 124 pounds (1x112 + 0x28 + 12)

It was made after about 1910 as that's the date they started stamping England on them due to a US importation law (not a hard date as some items stamped earlier.

What else do you want to know?

Well that was a quick response.  Thanks for the info.  I looked up the anvils in America book and it seemed a little steep for a single anvil owner.  That CWT system is interesting and explaining it will be a great converstion topic with the family and friends.  I dont plan on selling it as it's part of the family and I intend on using it for my home projects, but any idea what it's worth?

Hello all - I am hoping I can get some help identifying my great grandfather's anvil.  He was a blacksmith in the town I grew up in and this anvil sat outside his shop.  Unfortunately I never got the opportunity to talk about it's significance or details of what makes this guy special.  I've talked with a couple of farriers and they say it has a few features they havnt seen, and believe it to be rather special.  Some talking points were it's length, the tool attachment knock outs and the nub hanging off of the from portion.

Can anyone help me out and provide additional information?  Anything would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks
