Bully Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Hello all can anyone ID this anvil maker/origin for me has the wording 'Hardware 1 1/2 raised on it. Its cast with a hardened face rings very sharp and crisp and rebounds fantastic. At a guess I would say weighs in about 160-80 pounds Thank you Bully Whoops spelt Hardware wrong its 'Hardwear' as per pic ...sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubalcain2 Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Thought I knew cast steel anvils pretty well, but this one has me stumped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Frog Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 I've seen the "Hardwear" anvil a few times, with the 1-1/2 on the side, I'm assuming that's cwt for around 168 pounds. That close? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HammerMonkey Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 I found this example... Apparently it was also located in Australia? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Posted January 18, 2018 Author Share Posted January 18, 2018 i think this brand has stumped the anvil community re its origins, thats not a bad thing I find it interesting that its limited considering the wealth of knowledge we have on IFI. With the prices that Australia has on anvils this one may well be worth $$$$$$ lol still no hurry to sell its a nice tool. keep on smithing and bring back to the uneducated how blacksmiths were pivotal in creating communities, towns and societies as a whole...respect gents respect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
