This followed me home for $50. Faced Looked pretty good and it had a nice ring, but it was painted heavily on the sides. I brought it home put it on a scale then started to clean off the heavy paint ...turns out to be a nice 85 lb. Hay Budden.  SWEEETNow to clean of few little dings and wire wheel it a bit more. Neat little goody hidden away in a old garage, Gotta love dark corners of old garages!!!  Tim

VERY NICE BEAR! I have been looking for a Hay Budden, nothing would be cooler than having an anvil made only 2 hours away, NY State PRIDE!

When I lived in Columbus OH I ended up owning anvils from *both* the anvil manufacturers in that city---bought one of them in Arkansas and traded the other from a fellow who bought it in Arizona... Tha anvils I bought inside Columbus city limits were a Vulcan and a Fisher...

Thanks Guys, I hit the top with a flap sander and 3 different grits on a belt sander today. It finished up pretty darn good! Question: Is there serial numbers any where on Hay Budden's? Thought I read that some where. I looked on my large HB and did'nt see any on it either? Any help would be appreciated, Thanks! Tim

Bear, The guillotine tool looks like a crimper to put terminals on large electrical cables. Let us know how it works as a guillotine tool. John Frosty replied as I was typing

 We carried a cable cutter just like it on the drill rig for field repairs, so I'm pretty sure of what it is. That doesn't mean I'm right, there could be details of the contact surfaces that'd change my mind. Frosty
