Ross G. Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 I have had this for a while, can someone tell me more about it. I think it might be a mousehole. It also has "warranted" stamped under the face. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Last I heard Postman has identified over 200 different anvil makers in Old England. Could be from any of them. We just see Mouseholes more frequently in America than the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old South Creations Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Do you happen to know if Postman has made this list available? Just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomasPowers Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Postman published the book "Anvils in America", published a work just on the Mousehole Forge and is supposed to be publishing a revised and updated Anvils in America with a lot of the makers he has learned about since the first one---so I think you could say it's available. Also if you take an anvil to one of the Conferences he goes to he will graciously give his expert opinion on it---he named one of the anvils on my wall of shame that was missing everything above the waist last Quadstate. (A PW based on foot ledges and number stamping style...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old South Creations Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 I have "Anvils in America" but not the one on the Mousehole Forge. I have a couple of Old English & Colonial style anvils that I would love to ID someday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hans138 Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 ive read anvils in america a bit and i dont think its a mouse hole because there would be deep punch marks between the numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
