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

Looks great Blackbeard! Should be a lot of fun :)

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.

if ya send me the anvil ill use it for a few years and make sure to tell you just what kind of anvil it is when im done with it, hahaha, not sure about it, from the picture it looks wrought, have fun with your new Toy
