  2. Great find, I am sure you will be able to sell it in California. Thanks for showing it. Richard Budden
  3. Thanks all, interesting to read the thread about how many of you have Hay Budden anvils and the dates and weights. My interest in Blacksmithing is growing.I look forward to reading Richard Post's book.
  4. Thanks, Good to hear all the positive responses concerning my Great Grand Fathers Anvils.

  5. Thanks all for the info and comments. I have spent more time on the forum reviewing what has been discussed concerning Hay-Budden anvils. My sister and I purchased one from a blacksmith at Saratoga Race track,Saratoga, NY for our Dad's 50 birthday. He had a number of jeweler and salesmen's anvils but no full size anvil. I live on the Eastern Shore of Maryland and seem to run into blacksmiths that know about them, but do not own one. Thanks for the information about the company it's building and location in Brooklyn. Both Hay and Budden had porte cocheres on their houses where their carriage driver would pick them up out of the weather under cover.I have pictures of my Great Grand fathers house which I will post in the future. His house was large Victorian with a wrap around porch, we lived next door at 109-07 86th ave, Richmond Hill, NY. Thanks for your input, Richard Budden
  6. Thanks, I will pick up a copy of Richard Posts book and will certainly pass on any info about Hay Budden Manu. My Dad Edgar Budden was stationed at Pearl Harbor during WWII and told me he ran into a number of Hay Budden Anvils,some very large at the Navy Yard. Thanks, Richard Budden
  7. Good Morning and Merry Christmas. My Great Grandfather Budden of Hay Budden Manu. is a subject I would like to learn more about. I grew up in Queens, New York and lived next to my Great Grandfather's home, Hay had owned a house at the other corner of our street. They were pretty much identical homes they both built. They had a horse barn between the two houses where there stable help would prepare the horses for their carriage ride to Brooklyn each day.I would like to know what their building looked like and any available history. Thanks, Richard Budden
