Vulcan steel faced cast iron body anvils were produced by the Illinois Iron & Bolt Co Carpentersville Illinois, from about 1875 until approx. 1969... The Illinois Iron & Bolt advertised to have produced the VULCAN anvils using "THE BEST LAKE SUPERIOR Charcoal Iron" and their anvils being much more solid than wrought iron- the work being performed on a VULCAN receives the full force of the hammer blow and the face of the anvil will stay perfectly true after many years of service...
