Hi guys,
I just bought my first anvil, and I'm pretty much new to working with metals. I do some car and motorcycle work and always needed an anvil to help with light fabrication work. I picked up a Trenton Anvil today, and I think it has some history to it. My hope is that somebody here can ID it and let me know how old it is, and perhaps if I got a good deal or not. I paid $300 along with three old stakes for the hardy hole and the wooden block it sits on. I think it is a 149lb Trenton. It has a part on the horn that I'm not sure what to call. Here's some photos for you, any information on it's origin, age, worth, etc would be greatly appreciated.
The only markings I've found on it so far are the Trenton Logo, what looks like a (star) 149, and A131844, but the 8 in the serial number may be a 2.
Thanks in advance!
H.
