ThomasPowers Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Carriage maker's anvil, the side horn is for making all the iron clips to go on the woodwork. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas Dean Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Neat anvil. I have a William Foster dated 1848 at 107# with a side horn like that only a little shorter. face is not anywhere near that nice either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
