Trying to identify my anvil 201lbs the only markings are the weight which reads 1.3.5

Found this beauty today. 1927 90 pound paragon anvil. got any ideas on value?

haybudden 420lb broken monster anvil sold $1000 heck I screw up and still make money. YARD SALE KING out

lesson learned im not mad about it . already got three people wanting it for $900. gonna sale it . and keep digging old ones out of barns and basements and selling to people who appreciate them and who will put them back to work, I appreciate all the responses. helping me understand more about anvils . I may not know much. but I know what is COOL. and anvils are definitely COOL. yard sale king is out.

this one measures 5x33in jme1149 I appreciate the info. im gonna haul it to work this weekend and weigh it . ill let you know what it ends up weighing. im definitely a novice at buying anvils. but I find them and try to give them a good home and put em back to use. ive bought about 12 anvils in the past 3 years but ive never bought one over 120 lbs. I usually pay $1.00 to $1.50 a pound. and usually sale for $2 to $3 a pound. I just got carried away when I saw how big this one is. im a little upset knowing now that its not all there. I think I paid to much , lesson learned. thanks to all you that have answered this blog.

I think your right . andy

the face is 5in wide marcusb .and thanks for the 1918 mfg date njanvilman. I appreciate that. its not cracked and looks like its all there. its still straped to the handtruck . leaning back a little in pics. its been sitting beside this guys fireplace . since 1960 so that was his story anyway.i think he was a pretty straight shooter. he also sold me 3 Columbian 4in vises for $20 ea. so im pretty happy about that.

its not broken anywhere , no cracks I can put up more pics. but its still straped to my hand truck . it was a tough job getting it to roll through the guys yard to my trailer. I unloaded it when I came home and just posted to the forum. worn out but smiling. paid 600 feel pretty good about it. ive just never bought one bigger than 120lb and its hard for me to determine the weight. I really don't even know where to weight something this big. Im guessing its between 350 and 450lb . if its 450 I pretty sure I made a good deal if its around 350 maybe not . I usually sell 100lb for $300 never owned one this big.

yea it broke my 300lb scale

hey guys , I just bought a monster of a anvil today. the guy who sold it to me said his dad thought it was a 500lb anvil. but I heard a 500lb anvil had to be at least 36in long . the one I bought is 33in long. it is stamped A6037 and on the side it either reads 120 or 420 if its 420 im probally answering my own question. but was wondering if anyone can tell me what the weight and date of mfg is by the ser no. A6037 any help will be much appreciated. thank you
