billtr96sn Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Hi, I have just purchased this small anvil and am trying to find out the make and approx year of manafacture. One one side it has a eight pointed star cast into with three letters, the first is W and I cannot make out the rest. On the other side is a casting that finished with Birmingham and I cannot make out the rest. I will try to attach some pics. Thank you for any help.

billtr96sn Posted May 29, 2016 Author Share Posted May 29, 2016 I would like to add that this is a small anvil, approx 30 pounds which fits in with the 0 1 0 marks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charles R. Stevens Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 Give the anvil experts a chance to read and reply, remember your getting expert oppinions (and some not so expert) free. Many of these folks work for a living and save the rest of us from rooting in old dusty libraries or buying old and rare texts as favor. Not all of them are on here every day.

I've never seen people not respond BUT the above comment just could make that happen. Free info takes a while. In my case I don't have the foggiest idea what it is other than an anvil of small proportions. Happy Forging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billtr96sn Posted June 5, 2016 Author Share Posted June 5, 2016 Yes, sorry. It is just that I have exhausted all my avenues and my curiosity is getting to me now. Sorry again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles R. Stevens Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Don't sweat it, you haven't stepped in it yeat, lol. Pleas tell me you have it clamped to that drill press table just for pictures.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billtr96sn Posted June 5, 2016 Author Share Posted June 5, 2016 Charles, that isnt a drill press table, it is a grinder stand. The base is bolted down and the main upright is full of sand and 'stuff'. But, yes, it is only there for pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
