Frosty, Thank very much buddy you're very kind and gracious to take the time explaining details to which, I was completely oblivious. I am just about ready to start forging and I will use Trenton as is for now. As for the red.. I don't really care.. :-) All The Best and God Bless Iron Dragon, Thanks for researching Trenton.. I paid for him $250.. I bought it to work on it, so it is good enough for me. Folks, how can I reply to each post individually.. should I use the quote button or just reply in the bottom?

that is profound.. and inspiring

Thank you Iron Forge & Clay.. I updated the profile and even posted my picture..

It is my first anvil, as I am the last guy to enter the circle of fire.. :-) Picked up this Trenton, yesterday. It has 145 and 77045 inscribed on its legs. It looks like it has taken some abuse, though it has a flat top. The horn seems to have endures the worst beating. Any idea when it was made? How would you rate its condition? and what do you think it is worth? And one final rhetorical question: Why would anyone paint an anvil red?!
