Hey everyone,
I recently found this anvil over here in the Netherlands and at first thought it was a Fisher but i dont see the brand on the side but it does have the marking on one of the feet, im going to take a look at it soon. Any info would be appriciated

Where are you located in belgium? if its close to me i might be interested in taking a look
-
20 kg is a bit light but John Brooks are good anvils, if you tighten it to a heavy stand it should work just fine. In my experience i've found that the edges can be a bit brittle.
-
Yup thats definitely a trenton IMO looks like a great anvil!
-
ya'll arent old, you're just ripe but to be honest im still quite young so dont feel bad lol
-
it looks like a modified mouse hole, but it will help a lot to know where in the word you are located. have you read this yet? READ THIS FIRST
It looks like the smith that was using it specifically redid the horn for what was best for him. I'm certain people that know more will be able to tell you more soon

i like this thread a lot, it was started a year before i was born and now im reading it. I hope you have a blast getting back into blacksmithing!

I've seen them before but i'd have to look into it for the brand name.
From what i heard from the owners of the same kinds of anvils is that it rings loud, so that vibrating sound could well be a delamination, it still looks like a serviceable anvil tho! ill look into the brand for you.

im fairly certain that it is a Peter Wright. I can make out "solid wrought" and "patent" as well and i don't know of any other maker that used those markings
Its a pitty that you live so far away i would have loved to have that one in my shop!

Thanks! I didn’t know that, i just thought it was one because of the small face and double hardy hole

Thats a nice fisher you found! Congratulations!
-
I asked some more people and one said that he was almost certain it is from Wallonia and that it is a left handed anvil
-
its definitely a yorkshire pattern anvil, i dont know on the brand though, nice find man!

if i remember correctly the anchor stamps means that it was in use for the military.

I don’t think its cast iron, it might be an internal crack that is the reason of the sound. i do think it has been welded so that could be a problem. Its made in sweden from what i can see, I cant make the brand out. Someone else might be able to

I use boiled linseed oil, my fault for saying it incorrectly
-
Beewax also works for keeping the rust away, I generally use a mixture of linseed oil and beeswax
-
Yeah it does look like a kanca, i asked someone i know and he said he was almost certain it was from wallonia
-
I will ask him, ill let you know when he responds. I agree its a bit weird that they made the waist that thin.

Lol i posted for him to
