Awrksmokey Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 I bought this anvil a week or two ago but haven’t gotten the chance to take it out yet. at first glance i thought it was a peter wright, but the feet don’t look quite right. it’s stamped 1-1-17 which i understand to be 157 lbs by the hundredweight system. i was thinking it could be a mouse hole but some people disagreed. Do you guys have any ideas? it’s not marked at all other then the inspectors mark, which is an O, and the weight. thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KYCATS Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 Can you see any dots between the weight stamp? (1.1.17). Mouseholes are also known for a ridge on the underside of the horn. I couldn't tell from your pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomasPowers Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 What about a picture of the base? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 Sometimes the underside of the base holds a clue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awrksmokey Posted May 28, 2020 Author Share Posted May 28, 2020 ohh sorry! I thought I had already sent that in! here it is- It's slightly concave but pretty worn so I can't see very defined shapes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Faint Hourglass? 4 handing holes including a small one on the front foot and one in the center of the bottom. Should narrow things down a lot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awrksmokey Posted May 31, 2020 Author Share Posted May 31, 2020 Thank you, do you have a guess on the specific type of anvil? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
