Lastly, I have no intention of selling it due to the immense sentimental value attached to it (and the fact that I forge regularly and its the best anvil I have ever had) but for its own sake, how much do you all think this is worth? I live in rural Missouri if that helps. It weighs approximately 158 pounds, though I doubt the scale is very accurate, it always says I weight more than I really do -)Īre all PW anvils wrought iron? In other words, do some have a separate piece of steel welded to the top? The anvil is gorgeous and rings like the liberty bell.īased upon the other posts I have read about Peter Wright's anvils, it would appear this is a pre-1900 model. It is amazing what a wire wheel, emory cloth, wet/dry sandpaper, Liquid Wrench, and WD-40 can do. I haven't posted here in a very long time, but I recently got a Peter Wright anvil (it was willed to me.) It was my great grandfathers, and he used it for shoeing the horses and apparently as a counterweight on his tractor! The pics I have posted below is how it looked when I brought it into my shop, and then after I cleaned it up.
