winterbear Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 (edited) Going to look at this tonight no weight listed or manufacturer, what I do know approx 10.5 tall 30" long face 3.75 wide. So that puts it maybe 180-200lbs if those dimensions are close. Pretty chipped and the heel has been modified for Horse shoes(clips maybe)? if it is in that weight range it is priced around $2 per lb + or -. I have a decent 125lb anvil not looking other than why not have more anvils and the price is attractive. General opinions would be appreciated . Thanks Chris ok pics dont work from my PC I'll try the phone again Edited October 6, 2015 by winterbear Add pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThorsHammer82 Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Looks good enough to my minimally educated eye. Those cut outs look kinda like they were using the Anvil for a swage for throwing shoes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kendall P Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 that looks a bit like a hay budden - if its got a nice clean face and throws the hammer back at you like its putting up a fight then sounds like you got a nice seccond anvil coming home with you Just beware of the tool collecting desease... it is incurable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles R. Stevens Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 The bulge on the off side of the horn is generaly referd to as a clip horn, used to draw clips on horse shoes. Not sure about the double pritchels, but i suspect the notches are an addition to help square the toe of the heal. Dose good things for horses, but usualy it is done to stop folks with performance horses and arabs from complaining about the clacking noise.

ThomasPowers Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 If possible look at the bottom of the anvil the depression would be a big clue to the maker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterbear Posted October 7, 2015 Author Share Posted October 7, 2015 Just got home, looks like some one welded on the side where a name would be and the front feet for #s figures huh . And the heel was torched for those cut out shapes but doesn't seem worse off from a torch hitting it. The good is; face is flat, good thick face plate, great rebound, edge chipping isn't to bad. Bottom has a hourglass kinda impression with a handling hole in the center web. I'll get a weight and a couple other pictures after I eat. Thanks guys Chris.

winterbear Posted October 7, 2015 Author Share Posted October 7, 2015 Well she weighs in about 155# not as big as I was hoping but I think it was still a ok deal. Here is a pic of the bottom and a U stamped under the heel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 I'd go with it's being a Hay Budden with that hourglass! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Frog Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 (edited) That is an earlier Trenton with that cast base. Edited October 7, 2015 by Black Frog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 One of the German Trentons? Either way a top notch anvil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Frog Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 (edited) No, not German. German labeled Trentons were forged bases. Edited October 7, 2015 by Black Frog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
