The crown was often 1/16" or more high in the center and was definitely NOT a flat surface. Peter Wright addressed the sway problem in later years by crowning their anvils and sloping the horn upward. This scrap would often have steel and cast iron bits in it as well as not being so laminar as is good new wrought iron. The rest of the industry used scrap or "best selected scrap". They used only new high grade wrought iron for the body of their anvils. The reason for this was in their advertisements. While Peter Wrights are one of the better made more popular anvils of their time they also become swayed more than other anvils. If you have to put a straight edge on the anvil to see the sway, there is none. It is not a granite flat or a milling machine table. I told him to leave it alone! An anvil is NOT a precision reference surface. Scott asked me about machining the sway (1/16" on one side and 1/32" on the other (1.6 and 0.8 mm). While bigger is better it is also nice to be able to move your tools when needed. The "portability" range where a man can easily move an anvil is 100 to 140 pounds, thus the most common weight anvil. The weight is in the very common portable anvil range used by farriers, farmers and in small shops. It is in very good condition with minor edge chipping, a little sway, the original finish and no signs of repair. This is a perfect example of a Peter Wright anvil. ![]()
