Great info from all, thanks again! I pulled the harbor freight anvil off and set this girl on there. Will definitely need to lower it, right now it sits about wrist level. But I'm super stoked to have it finally!

Semper Fi!

My wife says that the proper term for my anvils is "a harem of anvils".

If you got as good a deal on your wife as you did with that anvil you should be expecting a long and happy marriage!  (Just before our marriage and when we were poor, my wife to be encouraged me to buy a 165# Peter Wright anvil for US$100.  Our marriage is still going strong after 37 years---and several more anvils!)

That is awesome. We hit 16yrs this month, congrats you and yours!

Just tell your spouce that if you listed it online for double the money it would probably be sold a few minutes after listing it. 

Lol, good point. I'm not selling it, I've been searching and waiting years for an anvil like this.

Your serial number date is 1925 

That's awesome. Thanks! Any idea what it's worth? I want to justify to my spouse how 150 was a good buy. Haha.

Hello all, newish to blacksmithing and iron work, built my own forge and started with a HF anvil. Sister in laws husband's grandfather was selling his tools off, and I got this. Researching it further, looks to be a trenton 127pnd. Just trying to see what the serial number puts the date at. Thanks to all, looking forward to contributing!
