pkrankow Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 My first guess is a Trenton, made in Columbus Ohio. Narrow waist, somewhat long horn and heel, visible parting line for the face plate. They are nice anvils. Good looking anvil, might be worth your time to go look and see and put a bid in. Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BM454 Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Or it could be a Hay Budden. Nice anvil either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hayden H Posted January 3, 2012 Author Share Posted January 3, 2012 The last 2 anvils to go went for $250+. I bought a Fulton 75 with heavily built stand for $250. I love it, good rebound, long thick horn, and long heel. (I belive its an early farrier type). The othe went for $400. 150 Acme that wasn't even anchor worthy. But it was on a 24 by 24 oak post that's probably worth that to the man that bough it. (Art deco furniture maker) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hayden H Posted January 3, 2012 Author Share Posted January 3, 2012 I'm considering selling my fishing collection, but be sure it goes up before the anvil so I know if I can afford it. All its doing now is sitting in my room leaned in a corner. I'd rather have an anvil that isn't necessarily breakable or taking up massive amounts of floor space, than a collection of old poles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old N Rusty Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Bass fishing and Blacksmithing. My two very favorite occupations, Too old, and too married for chasing women. What you got you are willing to sell? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drewed Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 I too would say trenton. It has that "race anvil" or "grey-hound" look to it. Looks a lot like mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hayden H Posted January 3, 2012 Author Share Posted January 3, 2012 What alls in the fishing collection? All kinds of stuff. I have 7 tackle boxes full of gear, from new unopened Rapala to antique hand carved. I just bought stuff whenever I found it cheap. I have a few rods I've never senn of. nor find any information on. Old cane poles (screw together late 50's) to a few bamboo fly rods, and a few Ocean City Reels (Fly and spin cast) both in original box with instructions and pouch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkrankow Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Sounds like you need to go to the library, get some books on appraising lures, and then set up an ebay store. There might be some real money there. I have a small collection of hand carved and unboxed antique lures, much of a tackle box full. They are valued at $1-$5 typical (with a few worth a bit more)... the boxes are where the real money is! My set were my grandfather's, including a DAM fly reel and bamboo fly pole.

Hayden H Posted January 4, 2012 Author Share Posted January 4, 2012 Huh, I figure I'll put it in the auction. Last lures to go went from $5.00 to $20.00 apeice. I'd rather get my money up front and not mess with ebay. Sell it as individual choice, then as a whole. Maximum money that way usually Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hayden H Posted January 10, 2012 Author Share Posted January 10, 2012 What'd be the maximum price you'd pay for the anvil from what you can see here? I probably won't bid if it doesn't weigh over 100 pounds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hayden H Posted January 21, 2012 Author Share Posted January 21, 2012 I took a good look at the anvil today. Its a Trenton. Inbetween the front feet its stamped, "155---- 198-- A". - Unlegible or possible space. We guesstemated the weight around 150-160. (What its stamped) Its in A condition. Worn edge and one perfect edge. Horns fairly worn, cutting tables got chisel marks, hardy and pritchel are in great shape. What would yall value it at? I'm guessing in the $400 range. Would that be a good price? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkrankow Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 A good price is what you the buyer is happy with. $2.50 /lb is generally considered a good price for a quality anvil with no major condition issues. Your thinking is right there. Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hayden H Posted January 21, 2012 Author Share Posted January 21, 2012 $2.50 a pound average is what I'll go with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hayden H Posted January 22, 2012 Author Share Posted January 22, 2012 The Trenton 155 went for $425. Thre had a HUGE post vice behind the cabinet that, "isn't for sale". I'll try my best to get it. It was an Indian Chief (Indian something to tired to remember). Next time I see the auctioneer I'll try to buy it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
