Anyone that could help would be great.
My dad (83 years old) is cleaning out his shop of many years because of moving and down sizing. Of his many tools is an anvil. I have learned it's been in the family for many years. It was one of his uncles.
Anyway, when he asked a local consignment auctioneer about selling it, the auctioneer told him he might want to research it.
To the point, after digging through many posts, and some time with a wire brush, we have learned it is a Trenton anvil. We found the diamond logo and its tagged USA 140 below the logo.
On the 'front' foot, we found a T on one leg and A466 on the other.
We would like to learn when (ballpark) it was manufactured as well as a ROUGH value. My finding would indicate between 1898 and 1900 for manufactured date. The anvil is does NOT have any cracks or chips. The edges are relatively sharp.
Thanks in advance for the help! I may have to keep this if try to learn how it came into the family.
