Williamsport, Pennsylvania: E. Andrews, Saw Manufacturer, 1876. Very good. Toning, discoloration from previous adhesive to verso.

The "Old Anvil" was "the first Saw Makers' Anvil brought to this Country. It has been used and owned by an Andrews for over seventy years, and was brought from London in year 1819, by Wm.
