How can I date this anvil


Recommended Posts

0 2 13 usually refers to hundred weights, 0x112 + 2x28 + 13 or 69 pounds.

In order to date most any anvil, you need to look up the serial number in the book Anvils in America. Photos of the anvil and any markings would help answer your question.

As I recall Wilkinson's are not serial stamped. You might be able to compare the stamping styles to find a general date; other than that find out when the company was in he anvil business for a loose date. However MOST ANVILS CANNOT BE EXACTLY DATED!  Doesn't affect their worth or usability at all.
