Mark Wargo New2bs Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 I would appreciate any help in identifying my anvil please. The only markings that I can see so far are 156. I've attached several photos. The anvil in the back is a 155# Fisher Norris from 1899, sadly broken at the hardy hole. Thank you for your help.

Pac Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Picture 2 - try to get a photo of both sides, could be more info on the other side Picture 4 - check the front foot for numbers or letters across the front Take a picture of the bottom of the anvil, some of these guys could tell you just from that. If it's welded to the base then nevermind... Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Wargo New2bs Posted December 9, 2009 Author Share Posted December 9, 2009 Update: After some elbow grease I can make out "Made in Sweden" stamped just above and to the right of the weight. There is some type logo above and to the left of the numbers, but I think it is going to be too badly damaged to make out completely. I will continue to sand on it until I get it relatively clean. The anvil has been welded onto it's stand, so looking at the bottom is out I'm afraid. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Wargo New2bs Posted December 9, 2009 Author Share Posted December 9, 2009 I believe that I have identified the anvil as a SISCO Superior Anvil from Sweden. The logo is badly pitted, but I think from doing a web search that the legible marks match. I've inlcuded a picture if anyone familiar with the anvil could verify it. Thank you much.

Thomas Dean Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 I have one, 127lbs. Excellent anvil, great rebound. Cast Steel, IIRC, according to AIA. Yours is 156# as they stamped the actual weight. Enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
