Hey DT!

I had a Peter Wright 100+ lbs anvil come in the other day. It's going to take a bit of work to restore this thing but the markings put its manufacture around 1860. Thought you'd be interested. I'll attach pictures of the project when I figure out how from my phone

Nothing to figure out. Only stirs up shit and refuses to post any pics. Has to be a troll.

I'd be interested to see what it looks like if you get the picture thing figured out.

That looks about right from the pictures I've seen.

It's not pretty. Looks like it had a break in the weld under the working surfaces and rusted up. It does have Peter Wright "Patented" and cast wrought on the side. All my reading has pointed to using Stoody 2110 hard surfacing rod to build it back up but it'll take a while.

isn't there a plate welded to the top of the anvil? That is welded to the cast iron?

That anvil is cast carbon steel and had a top plate that was forge welded to it when it was made. A crack had developed at some point letting moisture under it and causing the issues you see. I had cut away the broken sections and am cleaning it so that I can rebuild the working surface.
I have to get all the cracks out or it could do this again in 100 years or so.

I pay for the metal I bring home, unless it's like that damn bed frame that gave out on me. Then it just goes right back
So yes I can buy that anvil for what the company would get paid for it.

Pretty damn good find.
If you can pick it up for scrap value, you've got yourself a hell of a good buy.

i'm not sure if i am understanding the pictures or exactly how it is made, but can you not cut off that entire top plate and just replace it with a new one?

The way that it was done was the entire top plate was forge welded to the anvil itself which in this cast is cast carbon steel, I checked it with an innovex spectral analyzer. I could cut it off but I don't have access to a hammer and forge set up big enough to do that.
If I were to simply edge weld on a new plate I would lose the return, bounce back of the hammer, that I get when it's a solid piece and the wells would break in short order from repeated impacts.
The best way to bring this back to life is by building it back up with hard surfacing welding rod.

holy shit, that's going to be a lot of rods. but it will damn sure be bullet proof after that. You said you found the stamp for Peter Wright. Did it have any numbers below the name? Three sets of number(s) spaced apart?

have you sand blasted it and scrubbed off all the rust on the body?

There are numbers, I need to finish cleaning it to read them.

the first number you multiply by 110. if its a 1, then its 110 lbs.
the second number you multiply by 11. if its a 0, then its 0 lbs.
the third number you multiply by 1. if its a 5, then its 5 lbs.

Then you add the three totals. 110 + 0 + 5 = 115 lb anvil.
