Black Frog replied to JSet12's topic in Anvils, Swage Blocks, and Mandrels
Might possibly be a Samson anvil. Scrub the top of the cutting table and see if there's any remnants of the factory stamping. -
Trenton Anvil with a badge?
Black Frog replied to Beardedblacksmith's topic in Anvil Reviews by brand
Neither the casting marks on the underside of the one on Ebay, or the stamp on the underside of your are very common. I'd like to sort this out, but unfortunately people rarely post pics of the underside of the anvil- 19 replies

Trenton Anvil with a badge?
Black Frog replied to Beardedblacksmith's topic in Anvil Reviews by brand
I have another question for you. Can you tip your anvil over, or lean it back on its heel, and take a picture of the underside of the base? I'm wondering if there is a cast number and symbol in the capsule-like indentation. Thanks!- 19 replies

Black Frog replied to Beardedblacksmith's topic in Anvil Reviews by brand
Thanks for the pictures, that is the 7th style of U.S.-based logo stamp that Trenton used. AIA indicates 1939-1940 ballpark.- 19 replies

Not sure worth of this trenton
Black Frog replied to Christina davis's topic in Anvil Reviews by brand
Thank you! That is the second style of U.S.-based logo stamps that Trenton used in production. A 70k serial number indicates a 1907 manufacture date according to Anvils In America. -

Please post a picture of the serial number on the front foot under the horn! -
Shapleigh hardware black prince anvil
Black Frog replied to GreyGhost27's topic in Anvils, Swage Blocks, and Mandrels
Thanks for the pics, I'm guessing there is an obscured digit in the serial number, either a leading or trailing digit not visible. The serial number is not going to be 10332, it is the wrong base style for that vintage. -

Anvil Identification Help two different ones
Black Frog replied to Tyler2045's topic in Anvils, Swage Blocks, and Mandrels
The second anvil is most likely Trenton. There seems to be some numbers on the front foot, you may need to wire cup on an angle grinder to see more detail. Possibly weight stamp numbers to the left as well. -

Black Frog replied to Tyler2045's topic in Anvils, Swage Blocks, and Mandrels
Looking on my phone I can't see flats on the feet, better pics would help no doubt.... But that profile of the second one is not Swedish, and doesn't look like a PW. Looks like a cast base from what I can see? -

Black Frog replied to Tyler2045's topic in Anvils, Swage Blocks, and Mandrels
First is a HB. The second looks like it was made in Columbus OH. Please scrub the front foot under the horn for a serial number. -
This Columbian looks to have the Fagersta Bruk mark on it too, made in Sweden.

Need help identifying another anvil

Trenton anvil with overstamp ACME. Rather common to see that on Acme's made by Trenton. Please post a picture of the serial number on the front foot under the horn! -
Trenton manufacture date help request
Black Frog replied to Wynn's topic in Anvils, Swage Blocks, and Mandrels
Anvils In America indicates 1905 date for your anvil, thanks for the pictures! That is the second style of U.S.-based logo stamp that Trenton used. -
Trenton manufacture date help request
Black Frog replied to Wynn's topic in Anvils, Swage Blocks, and Mandrels
That isn't a leading four digit in the serial number, it is an "A" prefix. 56994 serial. Please post a close-up picture of the side logo stamp. -
Please post some pictures! Weight?
-
That Trenton was not made in 1901. The last digit of the serial number is obscured by evidence of the logo stamp style. The serial number is 18179x, that would be 1922 per A.I.A. A 1901 logo style stamp is very different than a 1922 style stamp. Thank you for the pictures!

Help me identify this anvil.
Black Frog replied to Reading Creek Forger's topic in Anvils, Swage Blocks, and Mandrels
That base looks Columbian-ish from that view. Have any other pictures you can post? -
So you think YOUR anvil's broken. ...
Black Frog replied to D.C.'s topic in Anvils, Swage Blocks, and Mandrels
I've seen this on Trenton, not an early A&H. -
