Thanks good points I may try a Craigslist ad. I'm in Maryland so Ohio could be reasonable to drive, but mine could be a lot more local for so many.

Good info, thank you! I can barely move it so 88 sounds right vs for example 188. At a $1 a pound I'd keep it for at least a conversation piece, if it brought $400-500 then I guess I would sell. And no, no one was interested in it. Any guesses on age based on the serial number, so I can chat intelligently about it? Looks like a 156xxx I think maybe,... Really like that it is stamped. The top plate is quite rounded, but I wouldn't know good from bad. Thanks for your input. It's been holding up the floor in y bedroom for a few years.

Hi - I inherited this anvil and thought I would try blacksmithing but just no time with work these days so wanted to identify its characteristics so I could establish a value for a reasonable sale. As the pictures will show it is a Hay Budden, measures 21.5" x 8.5 x 3.5 wide, but I can't tell the weight or its age. If someone could comment I'd very much appreciate your knowledge. My pictures show the impressions on the anvil and then with flour rubbed into it to try to expose more of the impressions. Any help is appreciated! Thanks Deb!
