Beak iron
A somewhat archaic term for a steel anvil or stake on which hot or cold metal is hammered or bent to shape. For clockmaking, anvils may be quite small and formed for holding in a bench vice, larger ones being screwed or driven into the bench top or a large wooden block, and very large ones having an integral base to stand free.
