warthog02 Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 I got another decent deal on a 300 lber, this time a Fisher from 1917. Edges are pretty beat up and lots of marks on the horn and cutting plate but the face is near pristine. No Fisher logo but a big "Fisher" stamp next to the front mounting hole. I know AIA talks about how the eagle logo was removed for the south during the American civil war, but Idk why they'd still be doing that by 1917 if anyone knows about that. The rebound is excellent, some of the best I've seen. Managed to fit it on the same stump as my stake anvil which may serve as a nice upsetting block.

Frosty Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 Another sweet score Warthog, do you carry a 300lb. anvil magnet in your pocket or something? Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rojo Pedro Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 Super nice. maybe the eagle logo did not cast correctly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 I don't remember when Fisher used paper stick on logo's but it seems like around that time period. Maybe Josh will see this and confirm the time period. I can't control the wind, all I can do is adjust my sail’s.~ Semper Paratus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warthog02 Posted August 24 Author Share Posted August 24 From Josh's book it says paper labels were introduced in the 20s, so it's possible they were around in 1917. It also says during ww2 that the cast logo was removed for anvils sold to the US government, so maybe the same was done for ww1. It could have also just been ground or worn off for whatever reason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 Another thing folks don't realize or think about is Fisher made thousands of anvils to retailers under their name say, "Sears and Roebuck". So a Sears, "Acne" anvil made by Fisher might not carry the full Fisher emblem / badge. Same for Trenton, Hay Budden, etc. Frosty The Lucky.
