ironworkertom1 Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 The serial number is A94004 and this is on the right front of the base. And the weight is 340 and the is on the left side of the base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverDeck Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 The shape looks like a Hay Budden but if that's the case, then the serial number must be 194004 and it would date to about 1912. If you look closely it sure looks like a "1" with some damage marks to the left of it, which could make it look a little bit like an "A". From the picture is appears that this anvil may have been broken at the waist and rewelded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 If it is a Hay Buden it was made in Brooklyn NY and should be stamped on the side Hay Buden, Brooklyn NY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCROB Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 1912 with those numbers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old South Creations Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 are there any markings besides weight & serial #? any manufacturer marks would probably be on side with horn facing the right The markings and shape resemble my Trenton. A Trenton with that serial # would be 1910 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhettbarnhart Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 That anvil looks a lot like my arm and hammer and the serial number is in the same place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironworkertom1 Posted October 10, 2013 Author Share Posted October 10, 2013 The weight is on the left front of the base and the serial number is on the right side of the base and we are attaching pictures of the base to show the depression at the bottom.

Old South Creations Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 the shape, placement of weight and serial number and oval depression all look like a Trenton to me. born in 1910 if it is a Trenton. No maker marks? (would be on side with the horn facing right) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 the indentation is quite different than the HB's Much more indicative of a Trenton either way a good anvil! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
