Nicemibs Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Hello to all, I just got another new toy Sunday night, a craigslist score! A very nice Peter Wright Farrier anvil 126 lbs, and it is marked very well, in great shape, has a nice patina of moss and rust, which I think it is awesome the way it is. My question is that it is marked to the left of the Peter wright logo, with a made for some one special? Was a farrier pattern anvil by Peter wright special order, or to have your name stamped on the side extra, I see nothing different about this other than it has horn clip, the horn I think might be swelled? I read the extra marking: ED made for CHICAGO Just curious thanks Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel.85 Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 It was made special for me actually, I'll let you know where to send it so I can have it back. jk.... Cool find though, to bad the name is worn off, Im sure they could have had it stamped custom. Ive not seen one like that though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 I had a swelled horn Farrier's anvil by Hay-budden that was obvious the horn was about twice as wide as the face of the anvil and as long or longer than the face. That one has a stout horn but it doesn't look swelled to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockcrusher Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 I'm a little late to this party but the topic fits...Peter Wright definitely made a farriers anvil with the extreme features you might expect to see in this pattern. Swelled horn with clip at a raised angle, the thin graceful tail with double pritchel holes, and a narrow waist. Very similar to some of Hay Buddens farrier pattern anvils. I've had this Peter Wright for a couple of years now and I haven't seen another quite like it....yet. Ed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Turley Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 A feature of the farriers' pattern is the lack of cutting table in front of the anvil step. This is because of the clip horn placement and use. The swelled horn is in that area and goes a little bit forward of it toward the horn end. I owned a 211 # farriers' Hay-Budden that had a 4" wide face and a 5" D swell. Sayings and Cornpone "You don't compromise principles. You either hold fast to them or you let them go."
