oh, and an edit to my earlier post, that coal is about 700lbs (it was a quick eyeball the first time) and it burns hotter and cleaner that any I've used yet! (still free, too)

Ted, you mentioned that a Hay-Budden would have the weight stamped on the side, I've checked very closely now and can't see anything but the USA I mentioned in my previous post.

However, there is what could be a serial number stamped on the base under the horn, think it's likely to be a Hay-Budden? Any other distinguishing features I could check?

serial # is in wrong place for H-B. Numbers look more like trenton.
Can't make out # on left. Trentons had weight on left serial on right. H-B serial on left.

Ken,

Best I can tell, the left side says W 113 and the right says A290-2. I'm guessing that means weight 113, and that it's probably a Trenton then.
