Definitely a Hay Bud, looks to be in pretty good shape too. I don't have AIA in front of me to confirm date, but I'm sure someone will chime in before too long. By the way, it is a farriers anvil, with a clip horn and 2 pritchel holes. Here in south east PA it is worth $5-6 a pound. You going to use it? Where in PA are you?

However the leading A puts it into the 1920 year as A20001-A30000 were made in that year.  If it didn't have the A then it would be an earlier one---still 100+ years old which is just getting started for a good anvil!  ("Anvils in America", Richard Postman, page 303)

Thank you!

Looking to see what this old anvil is worth. (Located in Pennsylvania) Found this anvil in a 200 year old barn in South NJ. Hard to see but it looks to say Brooklyn on the stamp side where it would say the maker. There’s a upside down #1 stamped under the right side of the horn. (If your looking at the horn straight on it’s under it to the right) Serial number A26296. Stamped 170 (Assuming LBS) Passed the bell test. Rings and dings as it should when tapped with a light metal hammer. (As you can se in pictures I tried to pencil over the letters to try to bring them out to a somewhat visible reading but this is as best as I could do) I assume it’s a Hay Budden 1896 but I’m unsure.

If anyone can’t help, it is much appreciated!

Appreciate it! I’m located in Pennsylvania.

The anvil passed the ring and rebound test, ringing louder and any store bought bell haha. I also believe this anvil to be from 1896 being that the SN is between specific numbers.

I have a (what I think to be) Hay Budden anvil. I’m Interested in what it may be worth. It’s been sitting in a 200 year old barn out in Millville, NJ. It’s stamped 170 (I assume Lbs) has an upside down #1 stamp under the horn.(If your looking at the horn straight on it’s under the horn on the right) has a stamp A26296 on base. Bottom of anvil is not flat. Looks like it says Brooklyn where the name would be but I can’t make it out.
