Thanks, I think I'll let it go. Ive got a piece of 3x4 barstock 30" long that I think I'll just make an anvil out of .

So...I've been offered $400.00 for it. Fair?

Didn't think anything had been removed given that I have found a few ones that look identical. It has been very interesting researching and getting info from folks like y'all Everything Mac, location added and not too far from Nobody Special.

Thanks for the info and replies. I'm attaching the photo from facebook which is identical to mine I think that would show no after market modifications on the one I have. Now I just need to find its value and how bad I need to keep it. Actually did find some numbers on the foot earlier. It shows a C or O with the numbers 77. Could it be a very early model?

If you go to the Hay Budden Anvils Facebook page, the cover photo is of one identical to mine.

Its actually in pretty good shape except for those torch cuts in the pic. The only other I've seen like is on the Hay Budden facebook page. But no info.

I acquired a Hay-Budden, 204#, some months back and have tried to do some research, but can't find another one like it. It has three holes instead of two, the squared portion at the base of the horn only goes half-way, not all the way across. It does not have a serial number at the front under the horn like others, but does have 069 stamped on the side of the tail opposite the manufacturers stamp. Does anyone have a clue?
