Viking Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 This is about a 175 pounder, with no markings and has two pritchel holes and one hardy. Looked all over and no other holes or ways to identify. Thanks for any thoughts or ideas on the name brand of this anvil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon1 Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Sorta looks like a trenton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John McPherson Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Welded at the waist: most likely a Hay-Budden clip horn farriers anvil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Geist Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Is definitely a horseshoers anvil. Is no writing of any kind on it anywhere? George Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Ivan Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 I think its a Trenton. If it were a Hay Budden, there would be an hour glass shaped indent on the underside of it. Trenton would have a capsule indentation possibly but not always. Any pictures of the bottom? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viking Posted April 24, 2014 Author Share Posted April 24, 2014 No bottom pics as I wasn't allowed. Goes up for auction tomorrow. Would no makings make it less valuable ?(keeping in mind that valuable is relative to each individual). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked on the net and saw several anvil's identical to that one and they were labeled trenton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viking Posted April 24, 2014 Author Share Posted April 24, 2014 Am I ok to assume a ferriers anvil will be ok for my blacksmithing needs? If so hope I get a reasonable crack at it at the auction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matto Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 A farriers anvil is better than no anvil. The older ones are good,takes a little getting use to the wider horn but I wish I still had my centar kolshawa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viking Posted April 25, 2014 Author Share Posted April 25, 2014 I believe john nailed it. Hay Budden clip horn farriers anvil from around 1912. Thanks to all that replied! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
