    Any Anvil Experts?

    Had this given to me just curious if anyone knows what type/brand? Markings are hard to see. Has a “7” on one side. Not much to go on.

    Man that’s awesome if someone just gave it to you. Go get yourself a forge and get to hammering

      That's a great gift, I'd think it was my birthday if someone gave me that. Always had access to anvils at places I worked but don't own one myself. Very cool. No help on how old it is or who made it.

                There is a guy that advertises old school iron working tools on craigslist in Austin, his name is Andrew Alexander 972.824.0041. He could probably help you as good as anybody....

                  Andrew could help you out, has more experience than most of us. That style has a steel plate welded on a cast or wrought body. Commonly made by Fisher, Vulcan, and a few others. 7 could be 70 pounds, or 7 stoneweight, or something else altogether.

                      I think that's the Price. I'll give you $10 if you load it for me.

                        Actually gave me two. This one and a matching one a size smaller. I’ll get better pics of both when I get home this weekend.

                          The smaller one has a 5 on it so you may be right on the numbers.

                            It looks like an older style Peter Wright and looks like it has been abused.
