August 18, 201312 yr yup that IS an anvil, now if you can show the markings on it , wew may be able to help tell you more.
August 19, 201312 yr you could start by getting the 9 layers of paint off of it so you might be able to find the markings.
August 19, 201312 yr This could be the elusive semi albino anvil. Sorry, couldn't help myself on that one. Need better pics of any markings.
August 19, 201312 yr And closer views in the photo(s), Some anvils have a distinctive shape or style that will help with the ID.
August 19, 201312 yr I am with Stuart. The line of the foot in the shadow would tend to indicate Peter Wright. The name is under thr paint on the side opposite that which is facing the camera. Do not attack the paint too aggressively. The stampings are not that deep and can be damaged if you grind.
August 19, 201312 yr painting anvils is an abomination. sooner or later someone has to clean it off. better to never put it on. tru dat
August 19, 201312 yr The name is under thr paint on the side opposite that which is facing the camera. ......not normally. Logo and stamping is generally facing towards you with horn facing right. At least all the PW's, HB's, A&H's I've encountered are that way. I've seen Soderfors with the weight stamping on the opposite side (horn left).
August 20, 201312 yr I use a good quality chemical paint stripper to remove heavy layers of paint. Outdoor work with lots of throw-away clothing.
August 20, 201312 yr Dont sand blast it! I hate to see blasted anvils as much or more than painted ones :-)
August 20, 201312 yr Author Thanks for all the input and ideas .you guys rock ,i really feel welcome and at home on the site. I will clean the big lady and see what hides underneath the paint ,will update soon
