M&H Mouse Hole Forge 1-2-0


Recommended Posts

A good looking 168 pound Mouse Hole for sure. Have you tested the rebound? Hope you have read about not doing any grinding, milling or welding on the hardened face. All it needs is hot steel hammered on it to shine up the face and maybe a wire wheel to clean the rust & stuff then a coat of BLO (boiled linseed oil) to protect it.

Good find on the Mousehole.  I recommend that you find or buy a copy of Richard Postman's book Mousehole Forge for lots of information on the famous old anvils.  It has a detailed history of the forge where the anvils were made.

I cleaned it a bit with a wire wheel just so I could read the text. I don't plan to do anything else to it, I don't really need to. The rebound is excellent, it's the first proper anvil I've ever used a hammer on. I have Postman's Anvils in America, but not Mousehole Forge. I should pick that up now that I own one.
