Hello,
My name is Nick, from Maryland. Long time lurker, first time posting. Recently bought this anvil and am having some trouble identifying it. Hoping someone can help.
Only the faintest markings left, I can barely make out what I think is an “AR” and a “194” underneath. I can’t see any indication that a plate has been welded to the top. I don’t have a ball bearing handy to test, but it does bouce back a hammer quite well. The place I picked it up said it weighs 154#, which seems reasonable to me but I have not weighed it. Seems like a good anvil all in all, but I’d like to know more about it out of curiosity’s sake.
thanks for any help!
Nick
