I just bought a Hay Budden Anvil
146.6 lbs weighed by seller. (marked with crooked 147 in middle of waist weld-which I believe was weight)
It is marked with serial 175938 (I think this is 1910 by looking at other threads) Can someone confirm this?
It has a 5 under the horn. Anybody know what this is?
Marked with 62 opposite Hay Budden Stamp. Any guess what this is?
I think this anvil has a solid tool steel top half welded to a wrought iron base. Is this true?
Just an FYI-- I paid $400 about $2.75 a lb. --a reasonable price I think --any thoughts?
thanks for any help,
Russ
