UV Metal Arts Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 I just pick this 194lb anvil for $450 and I would like to see if you all can help me figure out who made it and so on. Thanks. https://youtu.be/pfRwzdlFG0E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-1ToolSteel Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 You have a William Foster. The small lettering near the face is most likely the retailer and has nothing to do with the maker. Traditional English style. Nice anvil! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 If you dust the impressions with flour, chalk, etc, or do a pencil rubbing on paper, it may show more detail. Strong side lighting may also help. Please add your location to your profile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UV Metal Arts Posted April 19, 2017 Author Share Posted April 19, 2017 Most definitely a William Foster 1886. Thanks c-1ToolSteel! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-1ToolSteel Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 No prob. I will have to give the credit to Richard Postman for giving me 90% of my anvil knowledge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
