sparkymacker Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 I picked up a couple of anvils via a friend. The larger one is not too exciting, a cast base with a steel plate bonded to it. No maker on that one. The other one is quite old, the maker looks to be "orrisez" ? Apparently the "best warranted" refers to the forging. According the markings on the base it is 153 pounds. Would be interested if anyone knew the history on that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Best warranted probably refers to the wrought iron used Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Frog Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 The folks on FB reminded me that it is NORRISEZ brand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparkymacker Posted May 6, 2015 Author Share Posted May 6, 2015 Oh OK, the "N" was obliterated on mine! Do they have any idea regarding the age and the history of the maker? Thanks very much for letting me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty the Lucky Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Does the cast one have "BROOKS" cast proud on it's side? That would not be a "who cares" anvil.Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkymacker Posted May 7, 2015 Author Share Posted May 7, 2015 Hi Frosty, nothing that says Brooks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJS Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 I don't care if it did have Brooks cast into the side, it is an ugly pig of an anvil;-) I wouldn't turn it down for the right price if the rebound was good, but I would likely only use it as a sledging anvil. I have this thing about ugly horns.... ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matei campan Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 yes, that "pig" is ugly and far from the standard shape of an anvil, but it could be VERY useful - use it like the pyramidal horn from the double horned anvils. don't think ugly-beautiful, but think about the usefulness.
