vox Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 M. & H. ARMITAGE & Co. GENUINE MOUSEHOLE ANVILS Great Exhibition 1851 Prize Medal Awarded Mousehole Forge Nr. Sheffield Page0147.pdf ============= "And yonder stands old Mousehole Forge In dingy honours dres't, Famed in the days of good King George For anvils, England's best." MOUSEHOLE FORGE BOOK ============= Extract from History & Development of the Anvil by James Cran. A reprint from "The American Blacksmith" September 1914. From the 12th to the 17th century, smithing all over Europe reached a stage bordering upon perfection. but no attempt was made to standardize the shape of the anvil. The reason for this would seem that as a rule every smith was his own anvilmaker, and an anvil being a piece of equipment that lasts a lifetime or over, it stands to reason that there were few if any expert anvilmakers in the Middle Ages. Anvilmaking as an industry was first stated at the Mousehole Forge, Sheffield England. How long ago there is no authentic record but of well over 200 years anvils have been made for the trade at the Mousehole Forge, which for two centuries at least, was the only works of its kind in the world. The first of whom there is a record of having operated the Mousehole Forge in anvilmaking is the family of Sri John Burgoyne. Then Cockshutt and Armitage, and following them came M. and H. Armitage who operated the forge for over 100 years, The present owners, Brooks and Cooper, have run the works for upwards of 38 years , and are still making anvils that are hard to beat either in quality, shape or workmanship. Although there are now a number of concerns making anvils both in England and America, the Mousehole Forge is unique in several respects. They were the first to make any attempt at standardizing the shape of the anvils and they operate their forge to this day with no other power than that developed by an old fashioned water wheel. For well over a century there has been practically no change made at the Mousehole Forge. the same old-fashioned helve hammer, or "metal helve" as it is locally termed is still doing duty and is operated by the already mentioned water wheel. The building itself, with its old fashioned solid stone walls and low arched windows and doorways, shows but slight signs of the ravages usually worked by time and are apparently good,. barring misfortune, for centuries to come. Originally Mousehole anvils were made by the building up process, that is, the corners of the base or feet , the horn and the tail of heel were welded on to a centerpiece. After this the steel face was welded on in sections. The anvil was the n trimmed and finished to the desired shape by the use of hand tools. The face as then ground and hardened and after hardening the fas was again ground and the anvil then received the finishing touches. Some idea of how well this work was carried out may be had by referring to Fig 2, which shows a group of standard patterns of Mousehole anvils.
