Anyway it is a Peter Wright solid rought 1-1-1. This anvil I found while riding a honda 90 about 40 years ago, took me forever to get it home on that 3 wheeler. This is something overlooked by crooks making forgeries of Peter Wright tools (buyer beware). 1 I have a anvil in my shop, never really looked at it, use it very little, seen the post about anvils thought I would look and see what I have. The serifs on the hand cut letter dies are very clear. Scott caught them very well in the photograph. The markings on this anvil are clear and crisp. PETER WRIGHT, PATENT, Solid Wrought, 1 0 18 It was compensation for what was inevitably going to happen. After 1910 ish, they had 'England' stamped with the logo. The crown was often 1/16" or more high in the center and was definitely NOT a flat surface. I recall that they used multiple piece tops until 1885 (I think) then switched to single piece tops. It looks exceptionally rough for a Peter Wright, which were quite good quality. In any case, Peter Wright didnt patent his two piece anvil until 1850. Even more suspect as the London Pattern anvil was only developed around 1780 and pritchard hole didnt appear until 1830. Peter Wright addressed the sway problem in later years by crowning their anvils and sloping the horn upward. Ive never seen a Peter Wright with a date on it. This scrap would often have steel and cast iron bits in it as well as not being so laminar as is good new wrought iron. The rest of the industry used scrap or "best selected scrap". They used only new high grade wrought iron for the body of their anvils. The reason for this was in their advertisements. While Peter Wrights are one of the better made more popular anvils of their time they also become swayed more than other anvils. If you have to put a straight edge on the anvil to see the sway, there is none. It is not a granite flat or a milling machine table. I told him to leave it alone! An anvil is NOT a precision reference surface. Scott asked me about machining the sway (1/16" on one side and 1/32" on the other (1.6 and 0.8 mm). While bigger is better it is also nice to be able to move your tools when needed. The "portability" range where a man can easily move an anvil is 100 to 140 pounds, thus the most common weight anvil. The weight is in the very common portable anvil range used by farriers, farmers and in small shops. Rebound was pretty good even un-mounted, much better than train rail, even 2' section on end. It is in very good condition with minor edge chipping, a little sway, the original finish and no signs of repair. The 1770 marking is also confusing, as I haven't found any information about those being on Peter Wright anvils. This is a perfect example of a Peter Wright anvil.
