Thank you for your comments. I don’t have any bearings that size, but the light ball peen made a beautiful ring and nice bounce back. I got it out in the sun and rubbed a little oil on it to see if there are any other identifiers. I was wrong about the 3. It looks more like a 5 now. The wife is leaning on me to lighten our load as we are selling the house and I have my fair share of heavy metal as any man should. I thought this was a PW just due to the 4 holes and the way the weight was chiseled in. I didn’t realize there were that many Old English manufacturers. I’m still betting this is older than 1850. The farm had the original sheepskin deed signed by William Penn. i took a couple more pics. If you see something that I don’t please let me know. Thank you all.

I found this anvil completely buried in one of our equipment buildings about 12 years ago by accident while moving a couple old tractors and kicking up dirt. Unfortunately anyone in our family who would have had information on it has passed on. I can provide better pictures if that helps. The only markings are the 1-0-3 and it weighs in at 113.7 on the bathroom scale. Any information would be helpful.

Hello from southwestern Pennsylvania. I could use some help dating this anvil from our farm, and it’s value. I believe it is an older Peter Wright anvil based on the markings and what I see on this site. I appreciate your time. -Brent
