toealleyn Posted December 12, 2011 Posted December 12, 2011 I have a 94# anvil with a inverted triangle with the letter "W" cast in the side of the neck. Does anyone know the maker and approx. date? Quote
WmHorus Posted December 12, 2011 Posted December 12, 2011 hehehe Warner Brothers maybe ? Im just kidding Quote
Sask Mark Posted December 12, 2011 Posted December 12, 2011 It sounds like a Columbian. No idea about the date. Quote
CurlyGeorge Posted December 12, 2011 Posted December 12, 2011 Can you post any pics of the anvil? Take pics of the sides and front and rear view of the feet/base. Also, edit your profile to give your location. You may have some smiths located near you. :) Quote
ThomasPowers Posted December 12, 2011 Posted December 12, 2011 Neck? Don't recall that term in anvil jargon. Columbians have a recessed triangle with a C in it on the side of the anvil a ways below the face. Hmm need to look up "Western" anvils as they were cast---know a couple of smiths with 700+ pounders from them. Quote
CurlyGeorge Posted December 12, 2011 Posted December 12, 2011 On page 228 of Anvils In America, it show a picture and gives a brief description of a "WEST" anvil with an inverted triangle logo that has a W in the center of it. It states that "these anvils were manufactured from vanadium steel from an electric furnace, which makes a very good anvil". :) Quote
greensngravy Posted April 23, 2012 Posted April 23, 2012 I also have a West anvil - 173#, and it is in great shape. Very loud and clear ring to it. Mine does not, however have the inverted triangle, but I have had several folks in this forum vouch that it is a West. It is obviously a steel cast anvil. Quote
