Thanks.I know this is an old post but here is my experience, in the slough next to my grandpas there is all kinds of metal "junk" the are served as a dumping ground years ago. This possibly was the result of turning shoes, or some other repetitive forging process. Additional Info : Please note that one corner of the table is worn down from use. Buy your anvil wisely and get what you pay for. We offer a money back satisfaction guarantee on all anvils, less the shipping costs. Matchlessantiques can assure our customers that they can forget the worry and get what they pay for when buying from us. Then the buyer may find out t is no recourse for the problem because the anvil was sold with no guarantee.To prevent this from happening to our customers, we clean our anvils thoroughly to detect any faults and describe them accurately when we place them for sale. This sometimes results in the buyers being surprised with serious problems after paying top dollar for what they thought was a "decent" anvil. Most of the time the sellers are unaware of these problems because they are hidden. These problems can include cracks, repairs, pitting, serious hammer marks, defects and even body putty to hide holes.

The name "Peter Wright" is the most recognized brand name of anvils in the world. This is noted because Peter Wrights made after 1860, "the horn was a little longer and they were more uniform in shape with smooth blending curves under the horn and heel and down both sides." Because this anvil has a single face plate and Does NOT have the word "ENGLAND" stamped on it, the date of manufacture should be before the late 1890's. This Peter Wright was the next style made after 1860. Please write if you are interested in purchasing your own copy. Signed copies of this interesting and informative book are available. Information credited to Richard Postman's book, Anvils In America. They claimed that "Wright's Anvils Outlast All Others", and that every anvil is most carefully tested before leaving the works. Peter Wright used the finest wrought iron they could find and were faced with the finest quality Sheffield Steel. They have accomplished this reputation by having been in business over 200 years and assuring customers that every anvil that left Constitution Hill Works (the plant name in England), is not only the outcome of the very latest in the way of scientific invention, but that each of those articles has left behind it the whole experience of a couple of centuries. T is the number "9"s on the front foot which may be an inspectors mark.Peter Wright & Sons of Dudley, England has secured the reputation as the most well known quality anvil maker in the world. This anvil features a nice long thin horn.

The edges are clean with some small nicks. Besides being marked very well, the face is flat and smooth with few use marks.
