Help Identifying My First Proper Anvil Please


Recommended Posts

Hello All,

I have picked up my first proper Anvil today and was curious about its maker and history.

It has handling holes on ends and a flat base.

I am going to give it a good wire brushing tomorrow and see if I can find more detail.

any help or what to look for would be much appreciated.

The problem with grinding or milling the top of an anvil is less about ruining the temper, and more about simply removing material from it. The hardened plate on an anvil is usually only around 1/2 inch thick, and removing even a small amount of material can take many years of useful life out of an anvil.

Looks like a nice anvil!:)
