I purchased the book a few weeks ago and searched the inside flap, the back of the book etc. I also googled his name for contact information and have not been able to come up with anything. Thank you for responding!

Does anyone have an email or contact information for Richard Postman (Anvils in America)?

on Page 253 and 395 of Anvils In America it says American Wrought Anvil Company made some Anvils with COLONIAL stamped above the American. Colonial is the trademark name for the Schwabacher Hardware Co. But Richard Postman said "the American anvils he has recorded have four handling holes and are flat under the base, and none have serial numbers. I know my is a Trenton because I don't have any handling holes, I have a Trenton Oval Base, and I have the Weight and Serial Number starting with an A just to name a few things.

Thank you for looking that date up for me.

I would like to thank everyone for their valuable information. Any idea why COLONIAL appears on the side of my Trenton Anvil (Photo up above)? Thank You.

Thank you very much for looking that up. I was told that it probably was a Trenton, even though the Trenton Trademark is not visible. On the side it says Colonial where the trademark should be (See Photo). Someone said it is probably a Trenton with a Rare Trademark (Colonial) from maybe a Hardware Store.

I bought a 146lb Anvil. It has a oval depression on the bottom and the serial # starts with an A. I was told it is a Trenton Anvil. The serial # is on the front foot under the horn. Would someone be able to look it up in their "Anvils in America" book to see the date please. The Serial # is A91602 Enclosed is a photo of the Anvil.
