Those are NICE! Just wish we could find the top insert, but both properties where the cone came from are bare lots now. Probably got thrown in the scrap pile by someone who didn’t know what they had.

jlpservicesinc, Can I ask what you paid for yours? Mine was a gift from the widow of the Village blacksmith here. Missing the top.

My 36” Wiley and Russell cone mandrel. Wish I had the top insert, assuming it had one.

Amen......

Awesome! Same year as my Commerce fuel delivery truck. Thanks for the info!

The serial number says 158257 or A58257.

Here ya go Thomas.

Excuse me, it’s 153257 or A53257.

Awesome, thanks! Any idea what age or value?

I have an anvil that’s been in the family forever. But I can’t quite read the name and trademark. Looks to be a name inside of a diamond to me. The letters on the paper are what I think I can read. The anvil is 30” long and 12” tall. Has the numbers 198 and 158? At the bottom.  Has a hardened face. Any info would be appreciated.
