Agrinlikesin Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 Hi, Can anyone please help me identify this anvil, and tell me more about it. I found it in my grandpa's stuff and wanted to see if I should keep it or sell it. Thank you. All I can make out is it says something-something & son Stonebridge best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 Welcome to IFI. I always suggest reading this to get the best out of the forum. READ THIS FIRST - I'm sure someone familiar with that anvil will be along shortly with info. Could that be Wooldridge G. & Son? They were anvil and tool makers in the late 1800s located in Stourbridge England. It would help to know where in the world you are located. Hence the suggestion to edit your profile to show it.

Glenn Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 You have an anvil. A wire brush by hand will remove a lot of the rust, and hot metal will shine the face. You will never get the backstory and family ties on another anvil. If you sell the anvil, you will not make enough from the sale of this anvil to buy another anvil when you want to start blacksmithing. Anvils are useful tools to have around, from straightening nails, cracking walnuts, door stops, paperweights and yes, even working with metal. You can always sell it later.

Dragcurve Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 If you are looking to sell - I would like to purchase it as a gift to a Wooldridge of Stourbridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Looks like the last time they were here was May 27 2019; you could try sending a PM to see if that would result in them getting an email alert; but most likely they are long gone.
