    You have a Hay-Budden anvil. If you clean the front foot you may be able to make out a serial number.

    According to AIA 1901 ballpark.

    I haven't recorded that logo style in the 43k or 48k range. If you can do the same chalk dusting on the side logo stamp, that can help with dating as well. They used several different styles of logo stamp through their production.

    please post a picture of the side logo stamp and serial number, I'd like to add it to the logo database.
  5. Black Frog
    How about a close up picture of the serial number on the front foot under the horn?

    Later Trenton anvil, for a period of time they were stamped on the waist like that instead of the normal position up on the side. Thanks for the pictures!
  7. Black Frog
    Thanks for the pics!

    Coachmaker's anvil. It was used for forging a variety of hardware for coaches and their fabrications.

    Thank you! That is a rather late A&H. According to AIA somewhere in the early-to-mid 1940's. 54 is the weight. Sent you a PM.

    Mike E, can you post a closeup picture of the side logo stamp, and another of the serial number? I'd like to add it to the A&H logo database.

    Trenton anvil, please post a closeup of the side logo stamp. The side with horn facing right.
  13. Black Frog
    Ah! the anchor! yes, nice call Wicon!

    That is not a new plate. Some Columbians were cast with that as part of the pattern mold. That is original casting. Check it with a ball bearing for rebound amount, if you're satisfied with it a Columbian is a high quality cast steel anvil.

    HB no doubt.... Those dimensions for HB would be in the 300# ballpark....
  16. Black Frog
    That's most likely an S&H anvil. Nice stuff, one of my favorite brands. A good wire brushing might reveal better details of the stamp marks.
  17. Black Frog
    There are a few others that have done cast bolt lugs.

    Fisher, probably late model after they stopped with the eagle on the side.
  19. Black Frog
    Yes, HB. thanks! 1896 according to AIA.

    Thanks for the pics, I'm guessing you have a Hay Budden Ajax....... Can you take a picture of the under side of the base?
  21. Black Frog
    Can you post a closeup picture of the side logo stamp, and another of the serial number? I'd like to add it to the Trenton logo database.
  22. Black Frog
    Doubtful that is a Trenton base. More pictures would help, but that is more typical of a Hay-Budden underside.
  23. Black Frog
    A good wire brushing would reveal a clearer view of the serial number and logo stamp. If clean those up a bit, please post pictures of the logo and serial!
  24. Black Frog
    Handling hole in the front foot was an unfair wager. Poor Jim... :-) The 125 on the left foot is the weight stamp. Can you scrub the front right of the front foot for a better view of the serial number? Is that A5266? Or A5266x?
  25. Black Frog
    Thanks for the logo picture!
