I have these as well, sometimes colored in normal "Brooks Blue" paint. I know one I have is a perfect 28# with the Milwaukee tag. I believe they are normal Brooks anvil with an additional label badge.

Lulian, yours is a later one with solid steel top half. Can you post a picture of the serial number on yours?

Thanks for the pics! Yes this is a quite early Trenton. The vertical "SOLID WROT" is typical of this early serial range. AIA indicated 1899 date.

could you post pics of the side logo stamp and also of the serial number?

ACME anvil made by Trenton (Columbus Forge & Iron Co.). 1916 ballpark according to AIA.

That logo stamp style would be from the 1905-1911 ballpark time frame.

As Frozen Forge stated, this serial is A166529, there is no doubt from that style of logo stamp on the side. Made in Columbus, Ohio USA.

The "..ENT.." is visible of the Trenton logo. 124k serial is 1914 according to AIA. That is the 3rd style logo stamp that Trenton used in U.S. Production.

Can we get a picture of the side logo stamp and serial number? I'd like to add it to the A&H logo database

How about a picture of the serial number on the front foot under the horn? That is an earlier vintage stamp. WARRANTED in an arc over the arm logo, and SOLID and then WROUGHT on each side of the logo.

Trenton made in Germany. It won't have a serial number. Base is forged, not cast.

Could you please post pictures of the side logo stamp and serial number? I'd like to add it to the logo database.

There were nine different logo stamp styles that Trenton used. Some differences are very subtle, so if you ever get a chance to post a photo I'd like to add it to the logo database.

Any chance of getting a closeup of the logo stamp area on the other side of the anvil?

Please post a picture of the side of the anvil, horn facing right. There might be some remnants of the logo stamp still visible.
