January 27, 200917 yr Hi all just picked up my first anvil its a Stourbridge 120lbs (UK) anyone with any info on them re history/age I would appreciate same was told its over 100 years old.
January 27, 200917 yr Congrats, do you have any pictures??? That may help if you are looking for info.
January 27, 200917 yr Bully. I have spent about an hour searching for information about your anvil. I could not find much. One guy said he had an anvil with the words "STOURBRIDGE, I NASH & SON" on the side. Best I could do. Good luck! Ted T
January 28, 200917 yr I did a bit of digging too, Stourbridge is the name of a town about 120 miles away from London, near Birmingham. There's records of some other well known anvil and metalworks being in the general area (Vaughns, Peter Wright and Sons etc). I found reference to the name Nash on the national archives website here in the UK that put them in Stourbridge from at least 1850, so your Anvil could well be over 100 years old. This is a document reference I came across that I'd like to see first hand....
