rrollins Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 Hi Has anyone seen a Peter Wright Anvil with a logo Carved in the side. If you look carefully there is a 1 marked on either side. There appears to be a B on the bottom even if it was an 8 which is 1 8 1 it does not match the weight of the anvil. Any help to Identify year of manufacture or other details would be appreciated. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithgartner Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 I have a couple P.W.'s and have researched them a bit, and my guess is, that the logo (cross in shield) was carved in by the purchaser, as were the B's stamped into the base. The center number of the weight stamp has been carved away, when making the vertical cross line. The weight is in British Standard. The first #, 1cwt = 112 pounds, 2nd. # 1/4 cwt. = 28 pounds, 3rd. # is pounds. My main anvil is stamped 1 0 9 = 121pounds U.S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HWooldridge Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 Nice anvil - it's in pretty good shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 Just something some owner has carved in the side. It's a good idea to mark your anvils for ownership---I've had a 200#'r stolen before. I mark mine on the bottom though less chance of a their removing the mark...
