Can anyone identify this anvil manufacturer??? 50 lbs. Bought out of Manhattan, NY. I bought another one, American Wrought, bit no one can ID this one.

Would need something to go on to actually ID the maker from your pictures I can not see makers marks etc . The style it looks to be an Early colonial style with the big waist short heel and almost no table but that is a WILD *** GUESS . I saved the pictures and expanded them I can not see any detail for makers mark though second picture looks like there is marks but could not read them at all. Try taking a flash light with the beam shining across the side and see if you can pick up detail or a very light hit with a fine wire brush to bring up some markings.

Going to depaint them this weekend and wire wheel them clean. Hope I find something. The shape is so unique i thougt i might get lucky. I also got an American Wrought, 70#, in perfect shape so Im thinking its the same period....
