Sticks Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Trying to identify a makers mark on a hammer that I purchased today. It is stamped with an Anchor with three letters across it. The first two are clearly FR and the third is possibly a P or F. Any help would be appreciated. Will try to add photos. The older gentleman that I purchased it from said his grandfather was a blacksmith in the Philly area and it had belonged to him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 The Read This First thread tells how to do the most effective search. I tried that and came up with a bunch of threads about the anchor logo. Here is but one. Shows the logo much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan M Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 Twisted willow just posted a picture of a hammer in it followed me home that has a mark that looks just like it. I'll try to post the link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWISTEDWILLOW Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 I just saw this post and I agree with Duncan I think your flatter has the same mark as the cross peen hammer I found. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 Note that telling us what country it was found in can help a lot to narrow down possibilities. www = World Wide Web you know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sticks Posted March 14, 2021 Author Share Posted March 14, 2021 The man I purchased it from said that it belonged to his grandfather and that he was a blacksmith in Philadelphia Pennsylvania USA. Doing more research the FRP with Anchor was the stamp for Fayette R Plumb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
