Ford57 Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Hi to all, my name is German Morelli, I´m from Cordoba, Argentina. Recently I found an anvil in a flea market for 160 Dollars, so I bought it (not common to see this anvils in my city!!), has stamped "Wilkinsons + Queens Dudley" and in the other side numbers "1 0 11". Any suggestions!? Year of production?? My plans are to use it occasionally, very light use! Many thanks!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Ling Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Why only occasionally and only light work? Well first, what's your definition of light work? Littleblacksmith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the iron dwarf Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 make a forge, it can be as easy as a hole in the ground and a hair dryer and some charcoal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matto Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Great score on that anvil would love to have it. Once you start hammering you will not stop. You could forge parts to go with your engines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ford57 Posted June 22, 2016 Author Share Posted June 22, 2016 Many thanks guys!! It´s any way to know the age of my anvil, seems to be very old, maybe pre 1900?? I´m right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j.morse Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 I believe Wilkinson was in business from 1810 to 1920. Queens, as far as my research can find, was a neighborhood in Dudley, England. I have one that is a basic London pattern. There are guys o0n here that are much more informed than I am, so hopefully they can correct any error I made, or add to what I wrote.
