If you are interested in buying an anvil for youself, check out my guide to buying blacksmithing anvils.Ĭredit for title photo goes to Matthew Dillon on flickr. There can be a lot of subtle variations of these markings depending on the make/model/year it was made. This weight is sometimes given in stone weight. The numbers on the face of the anvil usually represent its weight. You really won’t find too many anvils that come in over their advertised weight. Meaning an old anvil will often come well under the weight written on its side. The problem is that these anvils are so old, that they tend to shed weight through rust, use, and abuse. Older anvils usually sold pretty close to their inscribed weight, often within a pound or two. Which is a shame, as modern manufacturing techniques give the company a great deal of control over how heavy the anvil will be. There is way more variation away from the advertised weight than I would like…with the companies usually delivering anvils lighter than advertised. Modern anvils are usually made within 10% of the advertised weight. Roughly read as 4 and one half hundredweights. In the traditional stone weight system, this would be marked as 4 1 24.īrooks anvils would instead be marked 4 1/2. Brooks anvilsīrooks anvils are unusual in that many of their models use a slight variation of the stone weight system described above. There are examples of English anvils using pounds, although it’s not common. While the stone weight system was the most common system used on anvils imported to America from England, not ALL of these anvils use it. Number punches came into use during the late 1800’s, and these gradually replaced the chisel method of writing the numbers. Some of these anvils had dots punched between the digits, others did not. On colonial anvils made before the 1800’s, these numbers were cut with a chisel. Some anvils will have a period or dot punched between the numbers. You don’t need the parenthesis, I added them because I thought it made it easier to understand. To get the total weight, add 224+56+9= 289lbs. You don’t have to do any multiplication for this number. So you will find a number between 0 and 27 in this position. The right number represents any weight under a quarter weight. So a 2 in this position would equal to 28 * 2 = 56lb. Just as the left number is a multiple of the number 112, the center number is a multiple of 28. Anvils that weigh less than 112 pounds will have a 0 in this position – with some exceptions there are some really old anvils that were made before 1700 that have no number in this position when the anvil weighed less than 112 pounds. So a 2 in this position would equal 2 x 112 = 224 pounds. The first number indicated the number of hundredweights (112lb). It’s easier than it sounds, so I will walk your through an example. To read these weights, you will do 2 multiplications, add the totals of these two multiplications, and then add the final number to the right. With the anvil horn pointed right, these numbers are usually written on the face of the anvil.
