Rusty86. No I don’t have one like yours. It’s quite nice, I think I may have seen it on Facebook in one of the groups?

I also made my own. In brass, Silicon Bronze, SG Cast iron & recently Aluminium. I hope this info is of interest & I have dragged the topic away from the original post.

These are some of mine. They were like promotional pens everybody was giving them away. Think pre computers & air conditioning offices full of stacks of paper with all the windows open and fans blowing in summer. Paper weights were an absolute necessity so what better way to keep your company...

It’s a promotional anvil. I have a glass display case almost full of them. The Coks Anvil & Forging Co. minis sometimes include the Ann & hammer logo. Is yours aluminium or steel? I thought theirs were all aluminium but your photo of the top looks like it could be steel. Would you like to...

The brass one is most likely a metal work shop class project. The steel one is a very common pattern of jewellers anvil. Most however have stake on the bottom that goes into a wooden or cast base. Versions are still made today.

I can’t see any evidence of Forge welding in the photos but that’s not to say you can’t see it in person. Forge welding always leaves a line which can be pretty fine like a hair crack or pretty damn obvious where you can see to pieces smooshed together. It is also possible the two half circles...

Is it laser cut? How does the locking screws work, do the arms have holes in them for the ring to pass through?

They look like a set of magneto wrenches from an old stationary engine or motorbike

Give the heads a coat of BLO as well it doesn’t change them and it stop them rusting. I use straight BLO on my antique tool collection and Blacksmiths mix on my Forged work BLO/Beeswax/Turps.

I don’t know if either primer & paint or the two in one can go directly on metal without an etch primer. When I tried skipping the etch primer on my drill press it chipped/flaked off. I don’t really have an answer to your question but maybe have expanded the question.

Australia didn't go metric until 1968, What countries would have kg as early as 1916? I wonder if the stamps are a later addition? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Unbolt the vise from the swivel plate first. You maybe able to find another plate on a damaged vise. I also agree with the post above.
