Steeler Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Stiletto anvil 25” long, 10.5” tall, 9” X 10” base Half inch thick face, 4” wide, 1” hardy hole, half inch pritchel hole Strong rebound and clear ring By the parting line on the base, I think it’s cast steel By the dividing line under the tail, I think it was forge welded on 124 stamped on the off side seems about right for the weight The serial number 21569 appears on the right foot below the horn The Stiletto trade mark on the off side is dinged up but still discernable This trade mark is the same as the old Stiletto Cutlery Co. and is now in use by Stiletto Tools that manufactures high end hammers and pry bars for the building trades Baker & Hamilton est. 1849 in California and once the biggest hardware distributer west of the Mississippi sold Stiletto merchandise. They also had a manufacturing facility. Did they make anvils? If not, who made my Stiletto anvil? Most likely makers from responses to a previous inquiry are Trenton or Arm & Hammer I’m thinking that there must be other anvils like this out there. All comments, guesses and factual info is most welcome Thanks for making this site so great. Steeler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 I'd go with Trenton due to the caplet depression, use of cast base welded to top section and the smoothness of the underside of the heel---Arm&hammer usually you can see the marks form the forging out of the heel on the underside. Also location of serial number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sask Mark Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 I would agree with you Thomas except the serial number does not seem to jive with the oval caplet depression of the Trentons.
