Spikewheel Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 New blacksmith, first anvil... No idea what brand but it has a great ring to it as well as a good rebound. The only thing I can make out is an "H", possibly (more than likely) an "L", and another "L." If anyone has any idea what it could be please let me know. I'd like to know if I got a good deal on it. It's about 150lb and I paid $300. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judson Yaggy Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Isaac Hill, made in Birmingham England. Good older anvils. Don't weld or grind or mill the face, just start hammering! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lou L Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Agreed. I have essentially the same anvil and got it for the same price. Consider it a deal and enjoy it! It is dated to the early 19th century (as late as 1850 possibly). I've been told forcefully that Isaac Hill anvils were never made with Pritchel holes but both of ours have them. It is possible that they were added later or, perhaps ours are both later models. It looks like yours weighs 152 if I see correctly. It is marked 1 - 1 - 12. Judson, met you Saturday at the meet. I didn't win that post vise and I'm both sad and relieved at the same time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
