Phantomic

thanks for the reply, I like the name. Prompted from your england idea, I went and did some research and the popular consensus that I've stumbled across was it was probably made by one of the wright brothers (not the flying ones) and I would have to agree based off of their stamping scheme and the circular "SOLID WROUGHT" stamp, it seems to be the same on both. I know my picture doesnt have the best definition or lighting and the marking is very faint The peter wright marking scheme i mentioned earlier, very similar aside from the use of hundredweight, even the size is similar

I was just coming here to ask about mine, I had similar issues trying to figure out what it's deal was. Mine is a 120, marked the same TRENTON PATENT SOLID WROUGHT 120 as pictured below Curiously though, mind has an extra couple stamps on the "toes" of the feet, on the reverse, there are two 7s stamped at that location, pictured below I felt pretty discouraged when I couldn't find the serial number, I was beginning to think it was counterfeit. Just like yours, mine had a flat base, but handling holes on both front and rear, as well as underneath Does anyone happen to know what these stamps mean? could it be a date code like 07/07? going by the dates stated earlier, it shouldnt be 1877, and I would find it hard to believe it's a serial number, being that it's limited to 2 digits
