doc Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 I'm not sure what make of anvil you have from the pic alone , but I can tell you that half the hardened steel face is missing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluidsteel Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Looks like a Trenton. It's too bad about the missing face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bentiron1946 Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Yeah, half the hard face is gone but if you already own it just use that half, that's what I did with my first anvil which I still have. I did an awful lot of work on that half and the horn before I got my next anvil and I still somehow liked the horn better than on the next one and then I got my third anvil a 300# Fisher. If you are going to buy that anvil be sure and don't pay a bunch of money for it, I'd say not more than fifty to seventy-five cents a pound. There are some older posts on here if you are really set on putting a new face on that anvil but it will cost almost a much as a new anvil so if that is what you want then buy a new anvil rather than fix this one up but if you are just starting out then learn on this one it will serve you very well if the price is right.

Bentiron1946 Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 sorry, double post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ole58 Posted November 23, 2012 Author Share Posted November 23, 2012 How do you replace the missing face? I don't see the older posts. Also, I think I can make out the word Brooklyn on one side. How's the best way to clean it up -steel brush? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bentiron1946 Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Wire brush on a 4" grinder works well and wear eye protection for sure. And there are 79 page for you to search, have fun reading them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
