pike3e Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 I have had these two anvils for a few years and never got around to trying to ID them. Now I am selling them and wonder if any of you may know what they are. First one- no legible markings, weighs 160 on my bathroom scale and rings really loud Second one- Marked 149 spaced across one side, no other legible markings Thanks for you help John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Moderator52 Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 Hey John, Could you put your location in your profile? There may be another smith in your area that could look at them and help you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drewed Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 I'd say the top one is a Trenton based off of shape and the really loud ring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hayden H Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 The bottom looks like maybe a Kohlswa, what does the bottom look like? Kohlswas (most of them) have an oval "dish" under the base Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Yes what the bottom looks like is generally a better indicator than what the face looks like so good ID pics would be: a good side view, a good bottom view and strangely enough a picture of the under side of the heel (one brand tended to leave the steamhammer hammer marks there and not clean them up.)

pike3e Posted October 3, 2011 Author Share Posted October 3, 2011 I will check to bottom and try to get a few more pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ironsmyter Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 The top one is most likely an earlier style Hay Budden.. The bottom is English, maybe Mousehole or Wilkinson.. Side profile pic would help ID them .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
