WNC Goater Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Hello, newb here. I know you folks are bound to get tired of answering this question but, can someone ID this anvil. Sorry this is the best photos I have as it is a CL listing. I haven't seen it in person. Listed as an "English" anvil, 130 lb (I think exact would be 129 according to stamp) Looks like: MI HS or maybe MI H8 or even SMI H8... From the picture I can't ID stamp between those initials nor what is below. Can't find anything with googling except possibly a Mousehole though that isn't quite right...not sure. Any help appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the iron dwarf Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 try rubbing on some chalk or flour and lighting it from different angles to see the marks more clearly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomasPowers Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Well we know it's weight stamped in CWT so definitely english, feet look older english but not extremely old, Does it have a pritchel hole? If so original or retrofited? My eyes keep trying to say there is a solid wrought circle above and slightly to the right of the 0, can't play around with the photo right now, any one else?

WNC Goater Posted April 20, 2017 Author Share Posted April 20, 2017 Yes, pritchel hole and handling holes underneath horn and heel. That's about all I know. Do not know if pritchel hole is original or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
