bamaborn Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Hello all. Just purchased this Peter Wright and need some information on it. It does have Peter Wright Patent 1 0 12 Solid Wrought stamped on it with S and S on the legs. The other piece has "Champion" and the #1 stamped on it.

Old South Creations Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 I know this is a wide range but your anvil was made somewhere between 1860 & 1910...maybe some other folks can narrow it down a little more. If you don't already know, the numbers 1 0 12 indicate the weight...124 lbs. It's interesting that "solid wrought" doesn't circle the middle number...most of them do. As far as the "s" & "s", Peter Wrights had different numbers, letters, etc stamped on the legs...no one knows for sure what they indicate. The "other piece" is a hardy tool...specifically a hot cutter. It fits in the hardy hole (the square one) on the anvil and is used for cutting hot stock. They're great anvils...enjoy!
