RE: Antique Peter Wright Anvil ~ Price Sold $330

in #antiques7 years ago

My grandpa was a blacksmith and we spend many hours in his workshop watching those gigantic hands an fore arms almost playing with the redhot metal while sparks were flying. He had a similar anvil and would pick it up one handed when he was about to loose his temper. Those were the days in the fifties....
