Hello, group. My name is Rush and I live in western North Carolina. I know this thread is several years old but I just picked up one of these anvils with the raised, six pointed star with the circle in the middle. Mine is stamped 14. The face is 14" long. The face plate on my is roughly 3/8" thick.
From reading the thread, I see that these were made by Fisher, but not sold as Fisher anvils. Any way to guestimate the age of this anvil? This site seems like a fantastic resource so thanks to everyone who contributes.
