  1. When I first wondered around this site, I had a gut instinct. So, "I signed up" I was pretty sure the forums would be well represented. From what I read, and what was not said as well. We can put this one to bed. Thanks again for the help.....why didn`t I see.....................................
  2. First, thank to those, for responding. Yes, I see the eagle after looking into njanvilman and museum. Sorry if my post is in wrong area. I understand if it is moved. I will work on being more diligent in forum selection. And I will now reduce size of any other pictures I attach in the future. I had seen the FISHER anvils before but did not think of this, as the Fisher is not present on my anvil. I did notice that the eagles neck/head is turned the opposite way on mine, after looking at a few images. I need to look into the museum a little more. I will get the wire wheel out and see if I can get this foot area cleaned up a little better. I am obliged to offer it up to my work partner first.
  3. Yes, I`m new........Here. Been around the block on the internet though. Searching for a specific image of a logo I have on my old anvil I used as a farrier. It was not for working shoes specifically though. I bought it about 40 years ago and have no history on it. It does weigh 150 LB. and has markings. I would like to ask if someone would respond, if they have seen this in the past. Or, direct me to a site that may have images with a manufacturer. I have two sitting in my yard and a co-worker would like to know if I would sell it. My other is a 140 LB.(according to bathroom scale) Armitage. It had been in the old farm shop since my great uncle gave it to me. The family started farming in SE Illinois area in the mid-1800`s. Not sure when the anvil showed up though. It would provide a little family history. And, I do not want to "muddy the water" on the first request, so I will not offer a picture. The only readable inscriptions are as followed: along with a stamped number 18 on the base, below the horn. ARMITAGE M H0l I.I.7 or > I`m thinking : ARMITAGE MOUSE HOLE 1 . 1 . 7 or > Other than that. Now I have a link to send my co-workers to when we start talking knife making and metallurgy. Also, I have the pleasure to have worked with previous Blacksmith Apprentices from the mines here in Arizona.
