DG TX Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 This looks(?) like an anvil/vise. Cast on the base is ADAMS Jan.11 '81. ANY help with information on this item is greatly appreciated! Duke Gilleland Belton Texas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragons lair Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 You got it right. Old anvil/vise or at least 1/2 of it(like most) Being hollow cast iron puts it in the novelty group. They tend to chip/break or shatter if hit very hard. Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 The date on it is probably the patent date if you really want info on it dig into the patent website for details of what it looked like originally. Also remember that they can use the same molds with that patent date forever afterwards---it's the "can be any earlier than this date" not an "it's this old date" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
