The edges are super nice! The ring is loud and the rebound is almost perfect. I am going to strip it from paint and stuff and treat it with linseed oil I think. Then I will post some detailed pictures.

Thanks! Thats great. Always wanted to have a Trenton of around this weight. 248 pounds.

Little add on to the post. Serial numbers could be: A169443 A169448

Hi everyone, I found another Trenton here in the Netherlands! Boy am I stoked! Could somebody check the Anvils in America book for me and see when it was made. I added some pictures. Thanks in Advance! Have a great weekend!

Robert Taylor, I am always looking for the biggest machines out there. Because of the look and performance. Great stuff. Nodebt, thanks for putting in the time and effort to search for the logo. I can not find anything about it, Dutch or any other country… It remains a mystery!

For sure Steve! I will pick it up within two weeks. Just wondering about the logo. It seems to be part of the original cast. haha TWISTEDWILLOW i doubt that too. Would be very special though! I will look up the mason jars for sure. I will paint over this silver grey color with either some black or maybe some charcoal grey to make it match my shop. I bought another drill press that is mechanicaly beyond repair to make a tong rack/post vice stand/swageblock stand out of. Will post some pictures when that is done as well. Take care!

Hi everybody, It has been a little while since I have been postin anything new. I have come across a very nice, well running drill press and i wanted to know i somebody knows the brandname on this one. The motor does not belong to the brand. I am just interested in the name of the drill press company. Here are a couple of pictures. Thanks in advance! Alex

It is Rojo Pedro, Very nice. I have some better pictures:

Thanks Jobtiel1 en Jullianb, Rebound test turned out great, I would say 85/90% maybe just a little bit higher. Sounds like a bell. I found a “1” on the foot also, straight below the horn. I will make better pictures of that later. Thanks.

Thank you very much Julianb for the information. The website is great as well. Do you have any idea what it could be worth?

Hi guys, Yesterday I was so super lucky to find an August Refflinghaus Söhne anvil of 164 KG (361 lb). I am pretty stoked about it. I just have one question. In the middle of the makersmark there is a 1. Does anyone know what this means? I have spoken with a couple of people that might knew but without any succes. I hope someone knows anything about this 1 in the middle of the stamp. Thanks Alex

Thanks Jobtiel1, I contacted Joe about the anvil. I will keep you posted!

Hi Frosty, Haha I didn’t mean to let you think I was thinking that I was being ignored. It is just that I got a little bit more information from the owner and I wanted to share. No rush! Enjoy the BBQs and other activities! And yes Neil it does! I am going to contact him as well to check if he has some more info about it. Take care

Allright it seems like there is an update. The 1821 turns out to be 132 KG. Still no indication about the brand/makersmark. If anyone has any information, please let me know. Thanks!

Hello again, Back with another anvil. Does anyone recognise this makersmark (third picture). It looks like the anvil is from 1821 so the stamp says (fourth picture). I hope to get some more information. Thanks!

Yes sounds good Frosty. I’m not a big fan of steel wedges. I only use them when there is no other way. Thanks for the tip for the @.

wicon Thanks for the list! I’m still looking for some sort of list with marks behind names. Maybe putting in some work to make one myself. Frosty Nice! Did you put a steel wedge in across the whole width of the handle? TWISTEDWILLOW I find them a lot. But mostly with a ball peen. I have one other straight peen hammer that i need to rehandle or put another wedge in. It is not completely straight on the handle either. So i really need to fix this. ThomasPowers Do you have pictures. I always love to see other tools.

Frosty Cool! Do you have pictures of it? wicon Thanks very much. Do you have some sort of trademark guide I can look up?

Hi, Found this beautifull 3/4 Lb hammer today. Does anyone have more information about this makers mark. I hope someone can tell me. Thanks! Alex

Thanks for all the great replies! Coming Wednesday I will be checking for serial numbers! I’ll get back with some updates after then.

Julianb Thanks for the reply. The guy I bought it from said the S marking should be right under the table of the anvil. Only thing is, this anvil does not really have a table. I’m at my workshop coming Monday again. So I will check the whole thing for markings and get back to you. Take care

Jobtiel1 Thanks for the feedback! I’m thinking the same thing.

Hi everyone, Recently i’ve purchased this German Anvil dating from 1927. The edges are super nice rebound is about 85/90%. It’s 275lbs. The guy who sold it to me said there should be a big S marked on it. I haven’t found it yet. It would stand for the German word “Standard” or “default” in English. Does anyone know more about these anvils. The guy still has the big brother of this anvil. Maybe I will pick this up as well since they were made together. Thanks Alex

Pedro Between 330lbs and 390lbs. Bart W Thanks for the imput Bart. I asked Joey a while ago. He told me it is indeed a “Gronings” model. But no knowlege about the markings. I really can’t find anything anywhere about this great beast… Irondragon Thanks for the welcoming and the kind words and sorry for the late reply! I updated my profile. Looking forwards to spend some more time on this Forum!

Thanks for all the comments. I’ve checked for serial numbers but i didn’t find any. It was said to me that some later trentons don’t have serial numbers. Is that true? Thanks
