plane_crazzy Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 I was at the flea market yesterday and found an anvil that I could not identify. It was marked in hundred weight on the side and on the other side had BF Stamped into it. It was a London pattern shape, but was heavily damaged. It had extreme mushrooming over the sides and chisel marks along the corners. I probably shoulda picked it up anyway but I didnt. I was just wondering what the BF was?

Nobody Special Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Buffalo Forge? Not sure if they used hundredweight though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plane_crazzy Posted June 26, 2013 Author Share Posted June 26, 2013 I am not sure either. It was marked 0 3 13 so definitely hundred weight. kinda kicking myself for not getting it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old South Creations Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 I've never seen a Buffalo Forge anvil but, as an American company, they wouldn't have used the hundred weight system. There were hundreds of English anvil makers at one time...Postman has identified a couple hundred or so. Sometimes their Id's are just lost to history.
