Hi Scott.  I'm pretty sure they are Nimba Titans (120#), but they also have a Centurion if I remember correctly (260#).

But I might be remembering wrong.

as always

peace and love

The big one is a Nimba Centurion. The others are either Italian pattern or German pattern. I don't recall seeing a manufacturer's logo on them, but I can check again. I'm going up this weekend to work on the library & I'll look then.

No matter where you go... there you are.

The smaller ones are 75kg. (165lbs) There is no manufacturer's logo.

Thanks Lee for following up on this. It appears there could be a few possibilities out there at that weight.
Regardless, I like the style and size so I'll have to save my pennies.
My Peter Wright seems a bit soft on the face and the surface is pretty rough.

Replacing a Peter Wright with a NEW anvil?????? You're not supposed to hit the face-just what's on it... Not that all of us haven't smacked the bejeesus out on our anvil face every now and then..  Lots of info on here about repair of anvil surfaces.. Dave Thompson and I re tempered an anvil in a nice spot under bridge in the Willamette about twenty years ago. It did require use of intoxicants but it turned our amazingly well..
