Thrumcap Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 Hello, I have a largish anvil that I think is an Attwood. However, it has an interesting divot taken out of it that looks factory. Does anyone have an opinion on this, or any Attwood catalog info? thanks, Thrumcap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Does one of the pritchels look drilled and the other punched? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thrumcap Posted May 8, 2019 Author Share Posted May 8, 2019 Drilled versus punched? Interesting, I’ll take a look. The squared side is what has me confused. I haven’t seen many anvil images like this and there is little documentation on Attwood I’ve found outside of AIA. ...After taking a look, it doesn’t look drillled. The hole in the body is larger than the hole in the plate. I’ll post a picture in daylight, I’ll have to flip the thing over.

ThomasPowers Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 I think it is a retrofit along with the extra pritchel hole and was done possibly with an eye towards farrier work. If it was original I think it would be as smooth as the side of the rest of the anvil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eventlessbox Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Thrum. Could you post a picture dead from above the cutting shelf. I'm curious if the horn is centered to the larger or smaller face width. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thrumcap Posted June 10, 2019 Author Share Posted June 10, 2019 Well, here’s some photos. I think the anvil horn is biased slightly towards the smaller width. The pritchel holes are much larger from underneath. Thrumcap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
