Any feedback is greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HWooldridge Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Most every anvil maker used something equivalent to 1080 or thereabouts for faceplates. Called a variety of terms but it was all plain, medium-high carbon steel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Food for thought. 1810-2010 what have we gained? Ken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken. Well here it is i couldnt get a picture for you but hopefully I can describe the details the pictures I took did not show anything anyways. So here it goes at the top of the anvil and towards the horn It says Peter, under that it says Wright, now under that its hard to make out but it appears to say England, then under that in a circle it says solid wrought, andunder that are the weight stamps which are 1 2 22 which from my understanding would be 190 lbs. Also on the foot under the horn is the number seven on the right side and number seven on the left side which seems to be the same size number stamp as the weight stamps. Well I hope all the info can tell you something. Thanks for the reply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In most of the pics it shows the middle number inside the solid wrought circle. Ken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
