bobasaurus Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 I just bought this restored 129 lb Peter Wright anvil from a fellow member of the Rocky Mountain Tool Collectors. With the bearing test it bounces about 85% on every part of the face, and a small hammer bounces 1/3 of the drop distance (compared to about 40% and 1/10 on the little Vulcan). Tapping the sides, it rings well all the way around without sounding like there are any hidden cracks. The previous owner (and restorer) was a professional blacksmith that taught classes locally. I'm quite happy with it. Since I'm flush with anvils for the moment, I decided to take a family photo. The miniatures look pretty cute up there.

Dang, that anvil tree is amazing. I think there should be a blacksmithing holiday where anvil stacking is part of the festivities. I used the new (to me) PW anvil today and it's very solid and has nice rebound. Sure beats the little vulcan. Edit: thought up a good name for the holiday: blacksmithmas.
