Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Any Anvil Experts On Here?

Peter Wright anvils are stamped on the side and measured in english hundred weight ..the first number is stones which is 112 lbs the second is quarter stones which is 28 lbs . the last number is lbs .. So if Marks anvil is marked 1-0-8 it is 120 lbs 112+0+8= 120 lbs . They can also be aged by markings . They are very good anvils and i saw a nice one on a remote colorado ranch last year and another on a wyoming ranch .. I have aquired 3 over the years but they are in recent years spendy as farm auctions have collectors watching .

It'd be interesting to see the ships that freighted those Peter Wright anvils from England.

Bro in law/nephew have my great, great, grandads anvil. I need to go over to his shop and clean it up and take a pic or two. No clue how old it is, but my great grandad (his son) was born in 1907.
I don’t have any kids, and nephew is getting into some metalworking. Plus, at 17, he’s got his whole life to use it.
I’ve got my grandad’s chinese anvil, which will work for whatever I do (think I’ve used it twice in 5 years).
