T is the letter "H" stamped on the front foot which may be an inspectors mark.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 .
