njanvilman Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 First attempt at posting a photo(without my techie daughter to help!). My stack of 15 thirty pound Fisher anvils in the museum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluidsteel Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 I'm in Oregon. I dream of coming to the museum some day. I have 2 Fishers and they are simply amazing anvils each. I have always longed for pictures of your museum. Makes me all shaky right now. I immediately went to CL and searched for more to buy. What are the date ranges of those? Do they vary much in the pattern or was it consistent through production? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njanvilman Posted February 5, 2014 Author Share Posted February 5, 2014 Now that I finally figured out how to post photos, I will attempt to put up some more. But not too many...Got to keep some of the mystery about it. The pattern/shape did not change for the anvils in this stack. I will have to check the date range. I have some earlier Fisher 30 lb anvils that have a different shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatfudd Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Thanks Josh- I'll look forward to whatever pictures you are willing to post. I do have a question, looking at AIA and the fisher ads, I see variations in sizes and shapes for the same weight anvils, from ad to ad (or year to year). Is there a potential way to correlate dates of manufacture to shapes of anvils? I'm still trying to tie down the date of manufacture of my 400lb Fisher which has the date partially obliterated. 193X? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njanvilman Posted February 6, 2014 Author Share Posted February 6, 2014 Fisher made about 4 variations in shape, mostly changing the the early years. By the 1930's, the shapes were pretty standard across their product line. The design any time in the 1930's would have been the same, unless one ordered an anvil with some sort of custom feature. Some of the images in the ads were used although the designs had changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinobi Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 does the museum happen to have some kind of gift shop wherein I could purchase a (real) fisher anvil to use? :ph34r: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quint Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Just curious why have 15 of the same model anvil for the museum? I am all for having a collection of various anvils for display but so many of the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomasPowers Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 The title of the thread is: Fibonacci stack of FISHER anvils Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuerna Verde Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Good morning allBob, the title of this thread is Fibonacci stack of Fisher anvils. We were subtly suggesting that the Fibonacci sequence does not describe a stack in the form of a pyramid but does describe a spiral. I could, however, be that Mario Fibonacci stacked those anvils for The Anvil Man and in that case it certanilly is a Fibonacci stack of Fisher anvils. -grant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njanvilman Posted February 12, 2014 Author Share Posted February 12, 2014 I cannot believe that anyone is arguing over my title. OK, so make believe it is titled "Stack of 15 Anvils" and leave it at that. And I agree with Bob S. Period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Coke Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Greetings , Josh you should have titled it ( a fantastic stack of iron that you all wish you had ) What you do is great and appreciated. Stack on Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ASMEsecIX Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Great pic! Now that you are camera to computer savvy i too propose more pictures of the museum, perhaps a members gallery. Is the train in which you are pictured next too in the museum??? p.s. Fibonacci is the only reason i clicked on this one first :D I'm going to add this to my list of random terms in which i like to speak around others who have even less of an idea...
