Matchlessantiques offers collectors and smiths this Excellent 166 lb. Peter Wright Blacksmith Anvil. This anvil features a perfectly flat, clean face. T is some light pitting near the hardie hole. The edges of the face are just about perfect. The anvil is marked as follows: "PETER WRIGHT, PATENT" and "SOLID WROUGHT" (in the shape of a circle), and the weight marks,"1 1 26", (which is the English Stoneweight system for 166 lb.). Pictures say a thousand words, so take a real close look. Peter Wright & Sons of Dudley, England has secured the reputation as the most well known quality anvil maker in the world. They have accomplished this reputation by having been in business over 200 years and assuring customers that every anvil that left Constitution Hill Works (the plant name in England), is not only the outcome of the very latest in the way of scientific invention, but that each of those articles has left behind it the whole experience of a couple of centuries. Peter Wright used the finest wrought iron they could find and were faced with the finest quality Sheffield Steel. They claimed that "Wright's Anvils Outlast All Others", and that every anvil is most carefully tested before leaving the works. Information credited to Richard Postman's book, Anvils In America. Signed copies of this interesting and informative book are available. read more
