alkaco123 Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 I had recently purchased this anvil. I am not sure of the manufacturer of the anvil. I believe it to be a Peter Wright. I would appreciate it if anyone could assist in Identifying the anvil,and maybe dating it. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Looks like a Peter Wright in form. Looks like it's stamped Peter Wright and has the Solid Wrought stamp too---taste it and see if it taste's like a Peter Wright! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomasPowers Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 I've already answered this elsewhere; no need to repeat. However how thick is the face on it? I just noticed that ther cutting step has been ground down so it's on an angle now---sometimes this means that they ground the face down too.

ThomasPowers Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 You check for a forge welding seam slightly down from the face on the sides. If it's been obscured you could polish a window and etch slightly to see where one type pf stee/iron meets another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
