Winston Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 I bought a Peter Wright anvil. Well it has "Wright" stamped on the side. Yet in all the pics I see of Peter Wright they all have a shelf at the front and back of the base. Mine does not. Do I have a Peter Wright? If you look in the pics you can see the base, and where "Wright" is stamped, yet I cannot find the "Peter". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also weight mark could be on oppsite side. I had wondered about the lack of flats. Some of henrys had them some not. Ken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sask Mark Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Pre-1852 Peter Wrights did not have the flats on top of the feet either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winston Posted December 17, 2010 Author Share Posted December 17, 2010 The weight marks are on the other side and are clear. 1.1.17 I have not spent a ton of time seeing if I could find other words. With the Wright so clearly marked I don't see how the other text could be so hard to find. When I get time I am going to clean it up and see what I can find. Thanks for the answers.

ThomasPowers Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Since it was hand stamped it's very easy to have part of the stamping clear and another part indistinguishable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
