Edges are good, no large chips, impressive rebound.Asking 5.50 per pound, which comes to 770. As far as I can tell, other than what's in the pictures, I can't find anything else. It measures about 24" long with the face being 4" and the hardie hole being 1". 2 weeks ago Anvil Peter Wright 140 Very Good Condition 5 Peter Wright anvil, marked weight is 140, in very good condition. I noticed there's what looks like a 3 stamped in the rear foot. Can anyone give me a rough idea on how old they think it is? I've uploaded what it looks like cleaned up as well as when there was still some red stuck on it. I don't have Anvils in America, and I unfortunately can't find it at my local library, so I'm asking for help here. There are some markings on it, and I'd really like to identify the age if possible. I stripped the paint off of it using electrolysis and some paint stripper and hit it with a wire wheel and some CLP to clean it up to see what I've actually got. The numbers on it are 1-1-6, so it should weigh 146, right? On a scale it comes in closer to 144, but as long as it'll take a beating, that's all that matters. She guessed it was around 150 pounds but couldn't tell for sure. It was originally painted with a layer of red and a layer of blue when I picked it up. I've been looking for anvils at estate sales and online, and came across a Peter Wright that a woman was selling on Craigslist. And of course it was, so I decided I'd like to keep it up. I've always had an interest in blacksmithing and a few weeks ago decided to take a class to see if it was as enjoyable as I thought it would be.
