Thank you. I will see if I can find the book.  I just inherited my great grandfather's smithing equipment and am looking forward to getting my little shop set up and learning.  

I inherited an anvil.  I believe it is a Hay Budden.  I know it is stamped Blackjack and is a 100# anvil.  The serial number is 77570.  I have seen several posts here that identified production date and place based on serial numbers, but cannot find a resource to look that up myself.  Does anyone have a source of info, or have that information themselves?  Thank you.
