BIGGUNDOCTOR Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 On mine, the date was clearly stamped on the side. Try using some chalk to highlight the markings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Country of Origin marking was a requirement that came in around 1910 IIRC in the the USA so if it was made for the US market that would be an "earliest date". While it's fun to know I have found little difference in how an anvil "works" from being 50 years old or 150 years old! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
