May 16, 201214 yr I was lucky enough that one passed me on my way. I have always wanted to have a Peddinghaus anvil, and it finally came true! I had to have it. As it turns out, it's a PFP (Paul Ferdinand Peddinghaus) Anvil. So, according to the Peddinghaus site, this is their first maker, beginning in 1903. This baby weighs in at 300#, 25# heavier than today's models. And taking a close look to it, it seems the bottom and top half have been forge welded, instead of arc welding (used on today's models). So, it's in mint condition for its age! The only thing I'm curious about is when was it made. I know somewhere between 1903 and 1930, but I'd like to have a more exact number. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Here are some pictures. http://i408.photobucket.com/albums/pp166/TechnicusJoe/DSCN0382.jpg http://i408.photobucket.com/albums/pp166/TechnicusJoe/DSCN0379.jpg:http://i408.photobucket.com/albums/pp166/TechnicusJoe/DSCN0378.jpg//http://i408.photobucket.com/albums/pp166/TechnicusJoe/DSCN0377.jpg/albums/pp166/TechnicusJoe/DSCN0382.jpg http://i408.photobucket.com/albums/pp166/TechnicusJoe/DSCN0379.jpg http://i408.photobucket.com/albums/pp166/TechnicusJoe/DSCN0378.jpg http://i408.photobucket.com/albums/pp166/TechnicusJoe/DSCN0377.jpg

May 17, 201214 yr Awed. And wish it were mine(but of course I am happy you have it.) And thank you for your instructional videos. They are excellent.
May 18, 201214 yr Great Anvil Joe. I also have a Peddinghaus marked Original PFP like yours but mine also is date stamped 1937 and weight stamped in Kg. Mine is a "Southern German" style with smooth transitions from the body to both horns and without the up-setting block. Steve at Matchless Antiques might be able to help on the age.
