Thanks for the input! I’ll be selling it, appreciate the discussion for sure. Little bit of research shows the consensus is that sisco is a rebranded soderfors for export. Interesting old chunks of metal!

Looking for some valuation input on an old Swedish sisco superior. Stamped “Made in Sweden” and “159lbs” The face is nice and flat but the edges are rough and the heel is obviously missing. Thoughts on valuation? I’m in Boise, Idaho. Thanks!

Hey there - thanks for the welcome. I did read that, thank you for the link. The anvil lives here with me in Boise, Idaho... I'll update my profile shortly. I have read about caring for the hardened face, appreciate the tip. I'm early in my stages of tool collecting and shop set up, currently I work too much and have too many little kids to spend much meaningful time out there! Hopefully in a few years when things slow down a little (i know, right... ha!) I'll have a decent start to playing with some hot metal. Thanks again!

Thanks!!

Hi there - first time post. I recently purchased a 90 pound trenton anvil with the following markings: - L91 (weight i assume? Bathroom scale puts it at 90 pounds) - U.S.A. - SOLIDWROT - A4850 I know that seems like a low digit serial number, but the more i look at the spacing and the depth of indentation, I think its correct. From the little I've found it appears to be an early anvil. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks, Chris
