First of all, this is my first post here so, Hello Everyone! : )
I'm new to Blacksmithing, but really looking forward to getting started. I have been searching for equipment and scored a few items at a recent estate auction. I didn't' score an anvil there but I ended up with a few post vises, a Buffalo rivet forge, and some miscellaneous stuff.
I ended up selling a couple of the post vises to a really nice guy that offered to sell me one of his anvils. Well, I went out to his place last night and outspent my budget a little but I'm really happy with what I ended up with. This is a 176# Trenton (I believe) I can't discern any markings on the side of the anvil but I'll attack some photos of the serial number (looks like A124616 to me) etc. He thought that this was a 1908 anvil made in Columbus Ohio. Curious what I might find out here.
Thanks in advance!
