Peter Wright Co.

Hundredweight: 1 1 27

Approximate date of manufacture 1900-1920

Manufactured in England!

English Pattern

Body is wrought iron

Forge Welded 1/2“ tool steel face plate.

Weight 167Lbs

Weight with Stand ~400 Lbs

Measured rebound is around 85%

Hardy Hole is 7/8” I am investigating the possibility of machining this out to 1“ for compatibility with modern anvils.

Stand was custom built at makerspace. Filled with loose sand, this provides good stability to the anvil but silences the bell like ringing that all good anvils have.

There are 2 box channel sections welded to the sides of the anvil stand, these allow pipes to be inserted. Once pipes are inserted the complete anvil + stand assembly is easily movable by forklift.

2 major blemishes

* Chip in face plate ~2 inches back from table.

* Horn was mutilated by a previous owner to make horseshoes. Can be fixed with alot of unplesant angle grider work.

Face is relatively free from dents, please try to keep it that way! If you are not sure how to accomplish this, ask Dan J for a tutorial.
