Cast iron blacksmith's anvil with classic London pattern design, horn and heel features, and substantial working surface. Exhibiting traditional form and fine craftsmanship from the early 1800s, this functional industrial piece weighs nearly 100 pounds.

Cast iron construction with traditional London pattern design featuring a tapered horn, square hardy hole, and round pritchel hole. The face displays subtle work markings from historical use. The base exhibits a classic waisted design with extended feet for stability during heavy forging operations. Surface patina and natural oxidation consistent with age and authentic workshop use.

This anvil would have been used in blacksmithing operations for metalworking and tool making from the early 19th century through the Victorian era. The substantial weight (97 pounds 11 ounces) indicates it was designed for serious professional use rather than for household or hobby applications.

Condition Notes:

Surface shows expected patina and oxidation consistent with age and workshop use. No significant cracks or major structural damage present. Working face remains relatively smooth with expected usage marks and minor depressions from decades of service. Hardy hole and pritchel hole remain functional. Some minor edge chipping along the base consistent with workshop use and movement. Refer to the pictures and in person inspection for condition.
