Dan Manns Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 A friend of mine found this anvil while antiquing. He knew I would be interested and contacted me. I know it's worn but boy does it have character. And the price was right at $150. I may keep it as is and just use it from time to time. My other anvil doesn't have a Hardy hole so this one will come in handy for that. The other option is to fix it but I don't think it would be worth the expense. If anybody recognizes this old girl and can provide info that would be helpful! I don't know looks like an anvil out of an old SEARS Roebuck catalog.

njanvilman Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 You have an early Fisher & Norris anvil. Straight horn. It was probably made in the late 1850s/early 1860s in Trenton, NJ. Do not attempt to repair it. Fixing F&N anvils is almost impossible. Enjoy it for what it is. Consider what it has done in it 160 years.

Dan Manns Posted March 22, 2020 Author Share Posted March 22, 2020 thank you anvilman! I appreciate the information! Any idea what the number/ letter on the front indicates? It look like the number 2 or a cursive "d". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
