Ted T Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 (edited) 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.... [no title] 705:260/4000/848 19th cent. 1 item Contents: Lithograph of Broadwell Forge and Constitution Hill Works, Peter Wright and Sons' Vice and Anvil Works, patentees of the solid box vice and solid horn anvil. Dudley. Edited January 28, 2009 by Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
