DGeer Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 I have a question for the group. I am researching an anvil it appears to be cast with the only markings being 1912 and D666. The anvil has a welded plate which may have been added. Any help would be appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 Welcome from the Ozark mountains. Without pictures and knowing where in the world you are located, I doubt anyone can help unless they happen to have one too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daswulf Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 You may learn a lot more if you shared full pictures of the anvil on both sides, front, back, bottom and top. Even more if you wire wheeled the rust off beforehand. The D666 could have been added as a business/company owned tool identification.

Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 Pictures of the whole anvil, both sides, front horn, rear heel, top plate will help. Just from the one picture of the mounting on the foot, I'm going to guess it's a fisher. Das & I posted at the same time. You might try a search like this. https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=1912+fisher+site%3Aiforgeiron.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stash Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 Yeah- Das is in the west end of the state, I'm in the east. You're invited to whoever is closer. The cast date and mounting lug kinda tells me it's a Fisher- cast iron base with a tool steel top- a very good and quiet anvil. The stamped numbers and letter are most likely aftermarket, put on at the shop for inventory control/ID. As everyone else has said, pics help.

DGeer Posted September 22, 2022 Author Share Posted September 22, 2022 Thanks all; I am researching the anvil for a friend. She is looking to sell the anvil. It is mounted so I cannot get photos of the bottom but I will ask my friend to get me some more photos.

And thanks to all of the guys that responded. I am pretty sure that you are all correct it is a Fisher Anvil. Thanks again for the help.
