Blackbeard Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 Hi all! Ive finally found an anvil! My friend Wim found this anvil for me, I collected it from him at the Wheels at the Vaal today. It was great fun to see the smiths working around four forges! Wim will probably post pics later. Im very happy to own this anvil- thanks Wim! Anybody know anything about this make? Its a 90 pound with 3/4 hardy, has the name John BP. Stourbridge stamped on one side. On the other side it has letters-0 3 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irnsrgn Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 There is a John Bullock listed as a possible anvil maker in the book Anvils in America. 0.3.16 should mean 100 lbs american weight. By the way nice looking anvil, congratulations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
