I have an anvil with the Lakeside foundry mark located on the side of the anvil with the horn facing right.The base measures 9 1/4" X 7 5/8" and has an hourglass indentation on the bottom.On the bottom of the base under the horn on the right side is the #80 and starting from the middle it reads A143721.I was wondering how old it is and how much it weighs also it's worth.

Nice Trenton anvil!

Lakeside was a montgomery wards brand name that was made by The Columbus Forge and Iron Co. Same company that made Trenton Anvils made in 1916. 80 Lbs. Value, depends what part of the country your in.

I'm in the Midwest.Chicago to be exact.

Good Morning,

If you are wondering what it is worth, why are you wasting yours and everyones time. Use it, if it works, it's worth GOLD.
If it doesn't work, you need to get a trained hammer. The trained hammer is the one that does all the work for you, while you are wondering what it is worth!! :rolleyes:

Enjoy the play day. Get it hot, hit it hard, watch the creator at work!!

Note NOT a foundry mark as it was a forged anvil.

I no longer have any use for this anvil that is why I was wondering it's value.I'm looking to sell it along with some other vintage sheet metal tools.

We have a tailgating section on this website or you could contact the local Artist Blacksmith Association of North America affiliate and see if any of them want to buy it.

http://www.abana-chapter.com/ has a list.

Thanks for the info M.C. I'll give it a try.
