• Scam Alert. Members are reminded to NOT send money to buy anything. Don't buy things remote and have it shipped - go get it yourself, pay in person, and take your equipment with you. Scammers have burned people on this forum. Urgency, secrecy, excuses, selling for friend, newish members, FUD, are RED FLAGS. A video conference call is not adequate assurance.

  • Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Ontario GTA West area meetup is planned for Saturday April 26th at Greasemonkeys shop in Aylmer Ontario. If you are interested and haven’t signed up yet, click here!

Good day, all, I’m new to this forum and blacksmithing. I live near Ottawa, Ontario. I was looking to see if anybody could give me some info on my new anvil that I just purchased. I know that it's a London pattern but looking for more info on the maker and year it’s from. Thank you for all the info you can give me.

Welcome. Mousehole are good anvils and yours looks to be in decent workable shape with a few careers worth of life left in it. If old tools could tell stories I'd be curious about all the punch marks in yours. As well as all the torch marks in mine. I also have punch marks too. Maybe a quick hardness test after quenching punches? Or a bored child left alone in the shop while Dad/Grandpa works. Who knows?
