Yes I know the weight and the price. I just want to make sure it is in fact a Hay Budden. I'm a pretty quick study and have been paying close attention to all I have read and watched but I am also not delusional in what I dont know. I will read through the Beginers section. Thank you very much. MC Hammer, thanks. I have been taught how to test the ring and rebound thank goodness. We have only lived where we live for a month so still haven't really had time to find the like minded or other Smith's very well. But I will look into seeing if I can find a group or someone local. The anvil is 2hrs away from where we are but if it is what it seems to be it is worth the drive imo. Thomas power thank you!

Hi, Please forgive any anvil ignorance in this post. I am NOT an anvil educated person.. just a wife trying to surprise her husband. I am going in a couple days to look at an anvil that is stated to be a Hay Budden. I have read as much as I could find online so decided to ask here.. Did the early Hay Buddens have mfg stamp like the later ones? I was told they didnt. If they didnt how to I confirm for sure it is a Hay Budden? It is not a cheap anvil and I want to be sure. Serial number? Are there any other distinguishing things i should be looking at to confirm? I dont want to ask my husband as i want this to be a surprise for him. Any info is greatly appreciated.
