Anvils in America

Description

NEW TITLE!
Referring to Anvils in America is so common in blacksmithing and collecting circles that it is merely referred to as 'AIA'. Want to know when your anvil was made? Refer to AIA. Want to identify the maker of your anvil and learn their history? Refer to AIA. Anvils in America is the single authoritative reference on anvils, their manufacture, history and lore. The early history of anvils starts with European makers, many long gone and now unknown. They are known only by the quality of their work and distinctive styles that are illustrated with photos by the author. The history continues with the dominance of the English anvil makers that had the power of the British Empire behind their distribution of anvils worldwide. Later U.S. makers replace the dominance of the English and other countries start to export anvils to the U.S. Anvils in America documents much of this history through the makers of today! Anvils in America includes many anvil manufacturers' logos as they changed over time and approximate dates of use. It also includes rare, difficult-to-find serial numbers of several makers with time of manufacture.
