I Forge Iron

Bick/anvil, new to the musuem


Recommended Posts

New addition to the collection.  The name is JH Seyfert.  He lived from 1838 to 1916, probably in Pennsylvania.  I am estimating this to be from around 1860 -1880.  It is a fine piece of toolmaking.  I think it was hammered from one piece.  Very impressive is the horn shape and how clean the transitions are between the horn and body and shank.  It weighs 11 lb.
