Do you have any other pictures, showing the whole anvil? Any other stamps or markings, year, weight?

And in the back ground I see a little green vise that looks like a York vise made in Czechoslovakia years ago. The American Wilton vise was designed after this vise.

This is a typical north German single horn pattern anvil made by Peddinghaus and should be marked on the other side 'PFP' (Paul Ferdinand Pettinghaus) in a square. A 2 piece anvil, forge welded.

Cast anvil weighs 102 lbs, weight not marked but has, what looks like, a serial No: 0 558. Ball bearing test: 65 % to 75 % rebound.

A very nicely made tool, what was it made for?

An English anvil that has seen better days...

This vise is fabricated, and not cast. It would be very easy to fix it if you apply some heat or welding if needed. But you do need some tools for that.

Well said and explained!

This 24" long forged old wrench (2 3/4") has the Arm and Hammer logo on the shaft, could it be made by Columbus Forge & Iron Co. ? The candle holder measures 12" in height.

Typical Austrian design anvil, stepped feet, one horn, one hardie hole, wide face with church windows. From the measurements, this anvil could weigh about 500 lb. and likely cast steel. The base is really beautiful, matching this nice anvil.

thank you Joshua!

In what year was this Hay Budden anvil born? - - - Serial #: 64655

It's a German made Trenton, they are marked like that.

I will likely come in early fall to Wisconsin, hopefully the snow will be melted by then....

My main shop is in Colombia. I have imported some of that German equipment over the years and they are in Wisconsin and California.

"do you have a lot of German blacksmithing tools and equipment?" Yes I have a few German anvils, forges and vises.

except for the face, this anvil was completely covered with tar. I left most of it, a good protecting coat. Maybe it was meant to be on a ship. There are initials of the anvil maker on the upsetting block: 'JRB'

Maybe the next one will be in pink....

anvil is 35 1/4" long and 13" tall, weighs 303 lb. It is a forged anvil and at least 100 years old.

This anvil was forged in Europe, very likely in Germany. You may find 'Germany' stamped on the lower part of the anvil.

At the waist, the first number could be a zero, so may not be that heavy.

Looks very much like an English anvil.

Looks like a Hay Budden to me.
