MODERN TOY

1800

Cast copper alloy miniature anvil. Most likely made as a toy and dating to the 19th century. It appears complete and is a typical anvil shape. There is a central rectangular body with a conical spike from the 2 short sides at the top. Geoff Egan has seen a photograph of this object and says it is possible it was used for very fine metalwork but that there should be a more substantial integral means of fixture.
