H&I Forgeworks Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Good morning, I have recently come across a new (to me) anvil. I was wondering if anyone could give me any sort of idea of the identification of the manufacturere. The three numbers stamped on the side are: 3..3..5 Any help would be appreciated..

Geoff Keyes Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Weight markings are English, style is more Continental, German maybe? Geoff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Turley Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 British made for export to the Continent. Maybe Peter Wright. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

basher Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 I have owned a few like that peter wright and other unmarked . We would call them a ship writes anvil or dockyard anvil here. the step at both bickes differentiates them from the continental anvils. looks like a fine anvil.

You rarely see ones like that in good condition so they obviously had hard lives. All the best Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
