smfg_mendo Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Can someone with an Anvils In America Book help me pin point a date on this little beauty. I have wanted a small arm and hammer for so many years I kinda stopped looking. Perfect size for my leather craft and gunsmith work. 35008 serial number Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mlinn77 Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 I have a 97 lbs arm and hammer on a oak stump with the feet strapped it seems to be fine for light duty work, never went to town on it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smfg_mendo Posted April 25, 2016 Author Share Posted April 25, 2016 I think that is the direction I might head unless something else catches my eye. I have a couple more power pole upper beams like i did for the 208 lb A&H. I think i posted photos on here somehwere of that stand. Just had a big oak trimmed so I have rounds but they are a little too short I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Frog Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Fantastic! Do you have stamp and serial number for your other A&H? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smfg_mendo Posted April 25, 2016 Author Share Posted April 25, 2016 the actual arm holding the hammer logo is slightly less detailed and the "wrought iron" print was dropped 49586 208lb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what to do any ideas for small anvils are appreciated. I'm a recent convert to steel anvil stands, having welded up the one in my avatar pic. My anvil's only a bit bigger than yours (148#), but fastening it tightly to the steel stand doubled its effective weight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Ling Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 I noticed while looking at the 4th picture that underneath the word arm and hammer that it looks like someone's initials (J.N.S.) do yall think that it is one of the previous owners? That's a sweet looking anvil! Would be a good size maybe for a workbench when laying out cold steel. Littleblacksmith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Littleblacksmith yes I saw that as well. there is a little story with it. they guy I got it from picked it up from the local retired shop teacher In the small town where my wide grew up. those are not his initials so I'm trying to get in touch with the shop teacher to find out where he got it. the guy I got it from Sam the shop teacher had it for a long time. the shop teacher was the only reason my father in law graduated high school!! 2 hours ago, JHCC said: Great job drawing out that penny! thanks I should be rich in no time! nice stand it gives me a few ideas.

There's a rather lengthy thread wherein I detailed the design process and its construction. I strongly recommend scale models! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
