Ease take a close look at the pictures. The company was founded in 1843 and produced anvils for 136 years. They produced more anvils than any other American anvil maker. Fisher became famous for perfecting the process of welding cast steel on high grade cast iron. According to Richard Postman's book, Anvils In America, Fisher claimed that "One blow on a "Fisher" anvil is worth two on any other anvil made".

They went on to say that, The Face Consists of a Single Piece of the Very Best Cast. Steel Perfectly Welded of the Hardest Temper.

The horn is made of Tough Untempered Steel and will neither Break or Bend. All "Eagle" Anvils made with the Latest Fisher Patent Double Thick Steel on Both Edges of the Face.
