Catchings Miniature Anvil Collection

Swan Forge Miniature Anvil

Samples from the John Catchings Collection

Photos provided by John Catchings, Swan Forge, digitally processed by Jock Dempsey.

John sent me thses photos in response to a question I had regarding the design and manufacture of a collectable miniature anvil. These rarely seen pieces, from a world class collection, are an education in high quality miniature anvils.

Miniature anvils are made for a variety of purposes. Most are advertising pieces, many are tourist souvenirs, other commerative pieces and a few small bench and jeweler's anvils. But some are high art pieces made as gifts or desk art.
