JHCC Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 The Undisputed King of Anvils! What do you want to know? It's a relatively uncommon model from one of the better-known English anvil makers. Do you have better photos of the markings? (Hint: a light dusting of flour and putting the light source at a low angle will make the inscription more visible.)

Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 It does say PATENT and some had a picture of a whale. Here is a thread with a good picture of that era of trademark. https://www.iforgeiron.com/topic/67876-armitage-mousehole-information/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
