Geoff Keyes Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Since there has been a lot of traffic about Fisher anvils of late, I thought I would post mine. I love Fishers, the first anvil I ever bought was a #200'er. Here is my baby and his big brother :lol: The bottom is my 1939 #200, it has an L cast into the front foot (I don't know what that means, anyone?) The top is my 1889 #30 with an A cast into the front foot. The #200 has the closed cleats, which I really like. I use the little guy as a bench anvil. I found it in a junk store in Southern Oregon for...wait for it....$30! The fabled $1 a lb for an anvil. Thanks for looking Geoff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njanvilman Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 The L cast in were moldmakers marks. Some had a L, some have L11. They really have no significance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaughnT Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Good looking anvils. There's nothing like working on a Fisher; makes a smith really appreciate a quality tool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Keyes Posted October 1, 2013 Author Share Posted October 1, 2013 The sad fact is, I hardly use the Fisher any more. It's become the student anvil. I have a 250# post anvil that does most of the hand forging work in my shop. And no, it's not for sale! Geoff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
