ThomasPowers Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 By "stamped through the side" do you mean the handling hole(s); or a through hole like a chainmaker's anvil? If it has a hardy hole it is almost certainly punched with the original forging of the anvil as retrofitting one would require heating the anvil up and then re-heat treating it afterwards. Not a trivial thing to get done correctly. Old anvils often have less uniform punching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dororo Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Similar Anvil 492 Lbs(223 Kg) Can anyone identify this anvil? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Is that a weighed weight? The CWT stamped weight differs. 448 + 28 + 16 == 482 Weighed weights on a modern calibrated scale are often slightly different. There were over 200 anvil manufacturers in the UK during the day and MANY of them made anvils that are almost identical as they would learn the business working at PW or Mousehole and then set off on their own making anvils that look a lot like PW or Mousehole; so if there are no stampings to identify the manufacturer you could have identical anvils made by different makers.
