KYCATS Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Nice anvil. Can't help ya on the origins but fishers are good anvils. They have a cast iron body which makes them much quieter than wrought or steel bodied anvils. Any other markings on it? Weight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Actually the owner and curator of the Fisher Museum participates on this forum; goes by njanvilman if he doesn't pick up this thread you could pm him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njanvilman Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 By the logo, your anvil was made between 1872 and 1880, by Fisher & Norris, in Trenton, NJ. If you post the dimensions, I can tell you the weight. This era F&N anvil did not have the weight on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Welcome aboard... nice Fisher you have there. I hope you have read about not doing any grinding, milling or welding on the hardened steel face. BTW: I always suggest reading this to get the best out of the forum and how to stay off the moderators radar. READ THIS FIRST Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KYCATS Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Height, length, width. What'd ya give for it if ya dont mind sayin. And depending on where you're located would determine what's a great buy. Anvil prices can vary widely depending on location. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
