teamextreme59 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Hi I own a scrap yard and have recently came across a Hay Budden Anvil made in Brooklyn NY thats in very nice shape. It has a 145 under the name. Just looking to find some more information out about it. The year range these were built, how common they are and a value. I live about 60 miles west of Chicago and am looking to sell it. I don't see these very often and the last one I sold for $30. I about puked when someone told me what they can be worth haha. Any information is appreciated. Thank You Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Frog Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Should have a serial number on the foot that will allow the date to be determined. Pictures of codition would be swell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 In that area US$2-3 a pound is common depending on condition. (If someone has ground or milled the face of it; drop that by 1/2 or more! Welding on it also drops the price...) The serial number can be correlated with a date using "Anvils in America" by Richard Postman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomasPowers Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Craigslist is usually a good way to sell anvils as it serves the local area and anvils tend to be a pain to ship. Right now a lot of people near you will be going to Quad-State Blacksmiths Round-Up in Troy OH where there will be over 100 anvils for sale; really ,I know a fellow who bought 30 his first time there!
