Hello guys, My friend have this Wilkinson's anvil with markings on it but I can't read them all. I see on one side: (disappeared Wilkinson's) Emblem Queen's Dudley And on the other side I think I can read: Patent Solid (R or B)un & En(I or T) ------ This is the part that I can't read. Does any of you know what it can be written please? Thanks

Hello I have this leg vise tant I bought yesterday for 80$ CAD. Perfect condition, nothing is missing, 4" jaws. I was able to read St-Paul Works and there is a crown logo. There is also S&W beneath the crown. I would like to get more info about this company. Around what years did they make these. I think it comes from Minnesota but I'm not sure. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

Anvil identification required

I just figured out the brand stamped on it. It is a Henry Van Wart Best Scrap warranted anvil. I saw on another anvil the same stamp but more readable. Thanks for your help anyway. I don't need this anvil. I was only curious of what brand it is. Thomas, It was when you mentioned Warranted that I was able to do a better research on google. Thanks! -

This is not my anvil. The pictures are from an ad. I want to know the brand to get a better idea of it's true value before investing on it. -

What anvil size for this type of work?
john_zxz replied to SmithingEverything's topic in Anvils, Swage Blocks, and Mandrels
Hi, I have forged 1" thick and little over for hardy tools on a 110 lbs anvil. I think that a minimum of 100 lbs would be good for you. Heavier the better but only at a good price. I have a 500 lbs anvil that is waiting for a stand since a year so for now, i take my small anvil. I'm forging all my project on my little 110lbs czech anvil and it's doing very fine. If you can buy a 165 with double horn then go for it as the double horn can be very handy for some pieces. Do you have a picture of the anvil you are looking for? -
This is my very first commercial made coal forge. It is in very good shape and the blower works fine too. The forge and the blower are Canadian Blower & Forge Co. Kitchener Ontario. I bought this forge to make some expositions this summer. It was the perfect size. I'll just clean it up a bit and maybe open the blower to clean it and to put some oil.
