yoopermac Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 I'm looking for any info about this anvil, it's about 100#, on one end Fisher is stamped and on the side is an eagle stamp / cast...I don't know if the horn has been cut or if it was originally built this way. Any history, worth....any info at all would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arftist Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Fishers are great anvils. With the horn damage and the edges look pretty chipped it has lost some value dollars wise, but still a good working anvil. NJanvilman is our resident fisher expert. He might help with some history.

njanvilman Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 The horn was damaged at some point. It looks like it was broken off with a hard top hit. Unless you need the narrow end point, you can live without it. You can always make up a stake to go in the hardy to substitute. There should be a date on the base under the heel of the anvil. From the square logo, it should have a date from 1880 to 1900. Lots on information already posted about the history of Fisher on IFI. But is was made in Trenton, NJ, during the time that Clark Fisher ran the business. The anvil is a bit rough, but still usable. Work with and around the roughness. Value and worth is in the eye of the buyer or seller. Ask away. Any questions are interesting to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
