Have sought help from anvil heads and noone can identify this anvil--it is a 160 pounder, 27 inches long, and 12 inches high--The only other mark is an oversized raised "U" under the horn--no weight markings.
Appreciate any and all assistance--

Regards--

Sorry I can't help you but I came across an anvil with the name FISHER on it and on the side it has an eagle. I weighs in the 100# range, can anyone tell me anything about this type of anvil?

I dont want to go out on a limb here but I think that must be a Fisher anvil, lots of info on here about them

If it looks like this>


Then Its a fisher-norris eagle anvil, If I'm correct it has a cast iron body welded to a forged horn and tool steel face.

A picture of your anvil will help identify when if was made, and condition. If you post a photo, I can tell you a lot about it.

Yep, 'cept for the part about a forged horn.

i have a 136lb anvil with a serial number of 7052 and it has a sideways 4 beside it to the right can anyone tell me how old it is or who made it?

Where is the serial number? What does the depression on the bottom look like? Does it have any handling holes and if so how many and where?

it has 3 holes on bottom the middle one is rectangular and the outer two are circlular
its serial number is on the front foot
and it has 2 holes one circular one square on the back of the top

That thin rim around the base making sort of a stylized hourglass shape is generally a Hey Budden, early style, later ones had a much heaver one. Some early ones the rim has been worn flat with the bottom---I have one like that; but it's well marked with the maker on the side.

The round holes probably were added later by a previous owner to bolt it down---are they threaded? If not perhaps they place a couple of bolts in a stump and droped the anvil over them to keep it from walking.

no they are not threaded and thanks for the info im looking for enough info about it to sell it to have a little money before i join the navy and i wanna know how much would be a fair price for it if that is at all possible

The profile picture in post #7 looks like the anvil has the ridges running down the feet. That usually indicates that the anvil was manufactured in England, I'm guessing late 1800's.

LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION a "good deal" on an anvil where I live now is about twice as much as where I used to live.

how are prices in georgia?

I have not found a "real" anvil here yet. I'm using a 110 pound Harbor Freight anvil that I bought for $125 (more than it cost new, because someone went and shaped the ugly horn properly for me. )

They mostly run around $1.50 to $2.00 a pound.
