It is a heck of a story and I hope you all enjoy. So far I have yet to remove an anvil but here's to hoping. A neighbor remembers hanging from the horn of the anvil and cranking the forge blower for fun as a child. I did put it on the scales and it weighs in at 280. It seems as though the 281 mark is the actual weight. Peter Wright & Sons of Dudley in the Black Country region of the UK were the most famous Victorian maker of blacksmiths anvils the world has ever known. I'd like to know if Henry was a relative of Peter Wright and if so, what years did Henry produce anvils. I have some smithy projects and would be able to put the anvil to good use. Markings on the side are, HENRY WRIGHT-DUBLEY- WARRANTED SOLID-281. The top suface is showing quite a bit of wear, most of the corners are gone. We talked to one old boy and my grandpa, turns out there was a farm shop there which got bulldozed to fill the slough a few years before my great grandfather bought the property. I recently reclaimed an anvil from the depths of the barn. It sounds like it is in superb condition, which would make it easily worth 400-450. Most are in the 1910 and later time frame. Long story short, I removed a dozen and a half hardy tools, punches, 1 pair of tongs, and a buffalo forge 147 post drill all of which received a heavy wire brushing and clean up and are being used in my shop. You may have to look harder, but there is other writing on the anvil above the weight. One day I was searching just for fun and pulled out a nice but rusty object I recognized as a hardy tool,though I was not quite sure, the next day I pulled out another. Watch as I take this beat up Peter Wright anvil and bring it back to life, through a lot of welding, grinding, and surface finishing, Truly a showroom-grade piece, and definitely one of the.
Through the years we have found clothes irons, bottles, wagon tires as well as buggy and agricultural equipment parts to name a few. I know this is an old post but here is my experience, in the slough next to my grandpas there is all kinds of metal "junk" the are served as a dumping ground years ago.
