This vintage pinback features The Famous Anvil.

The "famous anvil" pin relates to Gretna Green, a historic village in Scotland renowned for its wedding traditions. The anvil symbolizes the location's role in "anvil weddings," where couples were married by a blacksmith priest who struck the anvil to seal the union. This tradition began in 1754 when Gretna Green became a haven for young English couples fleeing restrictive marriage laws. Today, the Famous Blacksmiths Shop is a celebrated wedding venue and visitor attraction, offering a rich cultural and historical experience since 1754 - (https://www.scotlandmag.com/gretna-green-since-1754/).
