I Forge Iron

Possible Mousehole Anvil?


Recommended Posts

Hold on. A female anvil? Should I be checking out girl names?


Some one must know why there is an additional hole? It could be that it has been filled in, there is one on eBay that has a hole where this one looks to be filled in though I always thought Pritchett holes near the bick came out of the side of the anvil?

Cheers guys
Andy

there is no always when it comes to anvils. They were often customized to suit. Most old forged anvils were basicly hand made so a smith went to the anvil maker and said I want extra hole here they got it.
