Glad to see you included your general location in the header, saves me writing that part of my welcome aboard.Īnvils don't ring like a tuning fork but it is a distinctive sound.
#Peter wright anvil weight system full
I could not retrieve my phone picture of the full label-side face, but the overall surface (including horn) is consistent with what you see elsewhere, with good uniformity. Also, if resulting from damage, could the roughly 90 degree cut have been a cosmetic fix to clean up a more random edge, and could the more visible seam also relate to damage? I can see the seam between body and face most clearly at the edge of the cutout on the end of the anvil. I'm unclear if the cutout is a result from damage during use, or if it was a deliberate creation for some specific need. There is a significant cutout at one end of the top surface on the end of the top surface, to the exterior of the hardy/ie hole (see pictures). I did not do a rebound test. The anvil d oes give minor "ping" when struck with a small ball peen hammer (flat face), but I hear no lingering resonance, as with a tuning fork. There is some minor edge wear on the non-horn end of the anvil on the non-label side. I included a picture where the top of the anvil is capped by a commercial angle iron to show the straightness. The anvil seems to be intact, with no major cuts (see below), seam splits, or work surface cupping. The top is very flat and has no measurable center dip. The weight line reads "1 0 12", which a basic search suggests to be 124 (112 + 0 + 12) lbs. The Primary markings are "PETER WRIGHT PATENT", followed by "SOLID WROUGHT". if I wanted to sell the anvil I thought I should get a clue as to what I have. I inherited a home with a Peter Wright anvil set up in a corner of the basement, and after being asked by a baker's dozen of workmen, realtors, etc.
