Large anvil - $ 75

Is it a Hay Budden?

09 July 2011 - 04:28 PM

This is a continuation of my thread "I need some Hay Budden dimensions" from a month ago. So I have an anvil that looks a lot like a Hay Budden. After pulling some dimensions and comparing them to the 1914/15 HB catalogue that Southshoresmith posted, it's difficult to pinpoint a weight for the anvil. It has the face dimensions of a 400 pounder, the horn length of a 450 pounder, and a hardy hole size of a 500 pounder. But here's the kicker-it's got a face plate. The faceplate looks to be part of the original construction, not added later as part of a repair.
I postulated on the other thread that the anvil might have been made by the Southern Pacific Railroad, and that was before I had seen it. I wouldn't be surprised if they did make this anvil, using another as a pattern.
Enclosed are some pictures.

I need some Hay Budden dimensions!

I have a lead on a Hay Budden, and from the pictures it looks big...Can somebody compare these dimensions to your large HB so I can get an idea of its' size? It is a long drive for me (500 miles) but I don't have anything planned for the Memorial Day Weekend. It's 38" long and 5" wide...he gave me a number for the height, but he measured the base too, so it's not a valid number.
For comparison, my 200# HB is 29.5" lomg and 4.5 inches wide.
Thanks!
