Hnick16 Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 I acquired this awhile back. I can’t find anything on how old this anvil is? USA or Chinese? Material it is made of? Brand/manufacturer? What do the markings read? somone that knows anvils may just know what the manufacturer is based on the limited marks shown in the images. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much, Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hnick16 Posted February 3, 2019 Author Share Posted February 3, 2019 I believe it is: Anvil 1820 M&H Armitage Mousehole 133 pounds Forged Iron The first image i wetted mine down. The second is one I found online. Am I getting closer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomasPowers Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 To learn more you anvil may I commend to your attention: "Mousehole Forge" by Richard Postman (author of anvils in America) What are the "unique" markings? So far you have just shown us ones common to one of the two most common english anvil brands that were exported to the United States so it's sort of like "I have a used car with unique markings they say FORD". I got 813 results when I googled mousehole site:iforgeiron.com (Using your browser's search function is the suggested method of searching IFI as the "native" search function is not very good at all!)

Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 The stone weight marking on yours is 115 pounds 112+0+3 as compared to the one you found online. Have you put it on a scale? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
