Elemental Metal Creations Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 I broke down and bought a lakeside anvil yesterday. In very good condition, about 90-95% rebound, I paid too much for it but it is the best anvil that I have been able to find around these parts. Unfortunately it is supposed to rain for the next several days so I will have to wait to try it out. Marked 75# and weights the same on the scales S/N is 151601 could some one tell me if this is a Hay-Budden, Trenton or other maker, and possibly the year it was made ? Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judson Yaggy Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 From the look of the underside I'd say it's a H-B. It's ok to work in the rain, you won't melt or rust ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sask Mark Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 It's probably a Hay Budden from approx. 1908 according to Anvils in America. The shape of the indent on the bottom and the numbers stamped on the heel are typical features of HB's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
