Hello,

A friend recently passed away and I am helping his widow divest herself of the mass of stuff he left behind that he amassed over the years here on the NY/CT border.

One of the things was a large anvil that is sitting outside on a rock. The guy was a collector of things from old barns so I would say it at least 100-150 years old. The only mark I can find is "051" and that does not correspond to the hundredweight system of marking. It's 36" from tip to tip, 14" high, 13" wide and the base is 13" x 14.5".

The widow wants to get rid of it but before I can advertise it I would like some info. It's to heavy for me to get to a scale, I estimate between 2-300lbs.

Here are some photos, thanks for any help you can provide as to weight, style, condition.

thanks, Rob

You can weigh it on a bathroom scale. Looks like a Trenton to me and around 250 to 300 pounds. Condition looks pretty good from the pics. I'd say it's worth $400 to $600 possibly more in the right market.

I think it is a Hay Budden , not all have a weight stamp on them. $600.00 would be about right too, That rock brought to Baton Rouge would be worth a LOT more than that.
