catman78 Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 (edited) Hello all, I was given this anvil and was wondering what the cut in the side is for and what #'s stamped on side mean. It's quite large, DIY RR anvil on left is 12" long Fisher 1926 Edited July 20, 2018 by catman78 added images Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Frog Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 That is a Fisher Blacker anvil, made for the Blacker power hammer. The cutout was for the transversing hammer head and allowed half on, half off hammer blows. Do a YouTube search for Blacker Power Hammer and you'll see it in action. There were at least 5 different anvil makes that made anvils for the Blacker hammer over time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomasPowers Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Check to see if it weighs around 466 pounds with the other number being a serial for Blacker use IIRC. (I have a Blacker Power Hammer Fisher anvil too that came out of a RR shop in Columbus OH, it's used as my main shop anvil. 2 1.5" hardy holes---see my posts on converting cheap damaged top tools into nice expensive hardy hole tooling for them.)
