bstogsdill Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 I have an anvil Marked "WILKINSON'S X PATENT SOLID ANVIL" Where "X" is a trademark symbol looking like crossed hotdogs... Other side says 0 3 8 Looks like typical anvil with horn and heel and the hardy and pritchel holes... A quick browse in a reference book ,if i understood, said WIlkinsons quit making anvils in mid 1800's and this trademark as i recollect was sort of an in between the early and late trade marks. Thanks in advance for any help to dial in the range of the date of manufacture. I tried to post pics but not sure if it is working.

njanvilman Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 The 0 3 8 is the weight. It should be around 84 lb. Postman's book AIA has no clear dates for Wilkinson, but you could probably assume your anvil is mid 1800's, 1840 - 1860 range. Just think about 150 years old +/-.
