Got my Dad's anvil...a Peter something.

[Patrice Lemée]

Put it on the scale, 155lbs. A very large chip on the table. I will do a little cleaning to get a better idea of condition. Here are a few pictures.

Thanks for looking

Nice heirloom... Probably a Peter Wright.... can you read the numbers on the side?

 

[Patrice Lemée]

Yep, Peter Wright. Can't make out the numbers yet. I can see the Solid Wrought in a circle.

Pat, I was wondering why you removed your post on the other thread. Good looking anvil! That chunk out of the side probably won't hurt anything. You just use a different spot. Polish up the face a bit and it'll look like new.

Congrats. One of these days I'll find me one. The RR Iron will have to do for now.

Vous avez de la chance! L'enclume est grand et robuste.Votre pere a bon gout.

What i mean to say: You are lucky. The anvil is big and sturdy. Your dad has good taste.

Vous avez de la chance! L'enclume est grand et robuste.Votre pere a bon gout.

A couple of things:

Tu as de la chance, vous is more formal, for someone you don't know well or is older.

L'enclume est grosse et solide. Grand means tall and robuste is for a person more than an object.

Ton père a bon gout. Same as the first point.

All in all, very good. Keep up the good work.
