jep Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Hi All, I picked up a Hay Budden anvil last week on Craigs List. It weighs 103 lbs and is 4 X 28 and has the number 182314 on the front foot. If anyone can tell me anything about this style of anvil and the approximate year it was made I would greatly appreciate it. Thank You.

ThomasPowers Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 "Style" is the standard blacksmith's "London Pattern"; Size is a bit small for a dedicated shop anvil; but a GREAT size for a travel/demo anvil. It's in great shape; so go heat some steel and HAMMER! A very nice anvil indeed! Don't have AinA at work so someone else will have to cover the SN part.

Dragons lair Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Just a note, 1908 and later H-Bs are solid tool steel from the waist up. Mine is 1913. Ken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
