kayakersteve Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 When I came across this, it was just the top portion - I ground it smooth and welded to two other pieces of steel bringing total weight up to around 130-150 pounds. Works fair, but not much rebound. The table is also pretty beat up. I just bought a new JHM Competitor (see avatar) so this will be my kids anvil to work on. Any ideas about the brand?? 3/4" hardie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frozenforge Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Looks like the top half of a Trenton to me, probably around a 100 lb when it was whole. Still very useable IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Did it look like it had a failed weld on the bottom? I was wondering if it was a top half that was never used and so hadn't been heat treated yet---would explain the rebound and marking on the face. How smooth is the underside of the heel? If it shows the steam hammer blows it's probably an Arm and Hammer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
