Stonemonkey Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 I've had this a while but due to lack of workshop area it remains unused atm . I understand its a coach makers anvil and With a bit of wire brushing I think I've ID it as a I. HILL Anvil, looks like it has hill and possibly Birmingham stamped on side also 138 cwt which makes 204 pound? {fairly new to all this happy to be corrected. Can anyone provide any extra info? span widgetspan widget Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 That is a good looking anvil. I also think it is a coach makers anvil. Have you done a ring & rebound test? I hope you have read about not doing any grinding, milling or welding on the hardened face. Hammering hot steel on it will shine up the face just fine.

Stonemonkey Posted August 24, 2020 Author Share Posted August 24, 2020 Thanks No not yet will be doing shortly, no fear of grinder going anywhere near it! The most it's getting is wire wheel on a drill and coat of light oil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Unless the pritchel hole is a retrofit it probably dates after the 1820's (and before coachmaking in wood and iron/steel became non-viable to make equipment for...). I envy you that one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
