Peter Wright I think


Recommended Posts

This is my second anvil, the first one is a 35# Columbian that looks even better but little smaller than I wanted. I just picked up a 127# anvil at just under $2 pound seems to be in pretty good shape. From what I can read on it and what I have seen on here I think it is a Peter Wright. The end under the horn has a 0 on each side, can make out what appears to be Wright and Patent along with solid wrought above the weight.

Thirty-five pounds is the size popular with jewelers if they can find one that can be polished up on the striking surfaces. I have found that they like the smaller sizes rather than the huge one for their work. That 127 pound anvil there looks very nice, a good size to have around as it can be lifted with relative ease by a smith in good condition. My second anvil was a 125 pounder too. Have fun with it as you can use it for many a year.
