Bone

Hey all, since we're on the subject. Any idea on age and maker for mine? I appreciate any and all info on it.

I got started about three years ago when our farrier took out his hardy, cut a shoe in half and made me a hoof pick out of it. Took about 10 minutes and I was hooked. He invited me over to his place the following week and let me beat my first knife out of a rasp. I went home with a sore arm and a new addiction. I'm 53 and missing my right leg due to a motorcycle accident in '07, which put an end to my career as a crane mechanic. Tried several different hobbies to fill my lust for knowledge and to keep my hands busy. Smithing is the only one that stuck. Makes me happy and keeps me thinking.

I just hope I look as good when I'm 98. Take care.

I know its just barely visible, but its there. I'm happy man. Been looking for about a year down here in Florida.

thanks for the help guys.

I can do that.

I have a Trenton with serial # 177447. Any idea on the age? Stamped 152 on the left corner and 177447 on the right.
