RGraff Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Since coming here I've discovered that anvils actually have model numbers and names and such. The anvil pictured below has been in our family for many decades and has always been known as just "the anvil". Can anyone tell me what make/model it is? Just curious.

HWooldridge Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Appears to be a Fisher. There are several people here who can likely date it for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RGraff Posted October 12, 2012 Author Share Posted October 12, 2012 Sorry 'bout that. I am ignorant about many things...anvils and posting included. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOblacksmith0530 Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Ah another person living is bliss.... Ignorance is bliss if you don't believe me just ask me...... Does loo like a fisher. Is it loud and ringing when you hit it on the face with a hammer? Or is it kind of dull and thudding sounding? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Fishers are an excellent brand and are famed as "quiet anvils". People who don't know any better sometimes avoid them since they don't ring like they believe an anvil should. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RGraff Posted October 12, 2012 Author Share Posted October 12, 2012 When I had it mounted on the block it didn't seem to ring too much, but then again I have nothing to compare it to. I'm in the midst of getting it re-mounted on a new block. I'll pay more attention when I do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
