  1. It is a solid one piece cast steel anvil and it has a new home rebound was over 90%. I don't have any for sale currently.
  2. LOL I guess but at least a third of the anvils I find are Arm and Hammer and they are supposed to be a rare brand due to low production numbers but there everywhere in this area.
  3. LOL I sell some of them and keep the nicer ones for myself. Sometimes I make enough after say selling 10 of them to pay for me a nice one to keep. If I can make $100 on one I pick it up and eventually sell it. Sometimes I go a month and don't find any but sometimes I find several in a week. Anytime I love every one of them I get but I have to sell most to keep making a little on each one. I meet some awesome people getting out and buying them My personal anvils is the two big ones and a 160 Hay Budden. I do some forging but unfortunately I had someone offer me too much for my forge so now I'm building a new one. Im not really a collector but I like Trentons and Hay Buddens so I have kept the nicer examples of those. What I find is in my area there are more Arm and Hammers than any other I guess the close proximity to Columbus OH.
  4. I was just going to show a few anvils I picked up over the last year all in my area. It goes to show what you can find if you just ask most of the better ones I have purchased are from conversations about other things and just ask hey do you know anyone with any blacksmith anvils for sale? The last time I showed a few on here the thread got deleted wasn't trying to advertise as I have none for sale. But here you go.Trenton 400lb lived its life in Huntington WV B&O Railroad blacksmith shop.400 Hay Budden Also from Southern Pacific Railroad shop Huntington WV the blacksmith retired and the company delivered it to his house as a gift and I was very lucky to acquire it from his 80yr old little brother. It sat on a farm since 1970 on a huge 1" thick plate steel stand that weighs prob 400lb. 350lb Fisher I bought from a guy 10mi down the road from my home was sitting in a old building was the grandfathers anvil and they no longer had a use for it. 160 Hay Budden came out of a old coal mine general store Beckley WV.Fisher 200 took in on a trade for a junk truck young man didn't know what a anvil was until I showed him a pic of one said yea theres one in the garage of this house I bought. 140 Peter Wright another just ask out of the blue and yea I have one I will sell you.Hay Budden 140 bought from a scrap dealer Hay Budden 138 same scrap dealer Arm Hammer 150 a guy answers a add on FB and said I have one for sale. Brooks 170 from local antique dealer. Arm Hammer 100 from guy answer a add. Arm Hammer 135 antique dealer. Trenton 140 from scrap dealer. Arm Hammer 124 from scrap dealer. Vulcan 300 from scrap dealer. And photo of some together with 300 Peter Wright and Arm Hammer 186 from scrap dealer. Once again none are currently for sale just trying to show some pretty steel.
  5. Yes I have learned a lot from you guys and appreciate you guys taking time to explain it all.
  6. LOL no a few were on the fence to what it was. Was just hoping someone who may know the differences between it and a Haybudden and Trenton may know more what to look at. Yea its getting use and it's a good one will outlast me and its more than what I need so it don't really matter what it is.
  7. I didn't post any more was just wondering if anyone else that have a idea what brand it may be based on the photos I had posted before. I guess its about impossible to tell without a stamp of some sort. Shame they didn't mark it but I guess they never thought someone would care a hundred years later lol.
  8. Thank you I thought it was an A but hard to tell for sure.
  9. Could be 417922 or even 117922 the first digit isn't stamped very clearly.
