April 24, 201412 yr This is about a 175 pounder, with no markings and has two pritchel holes and one hardy. Looked all over and no other holes or ways to identify. Thanks for any thoughts or ideas on the name brand of this anvil.
April 24, 201412 yr Is definitely a horseshoers anvil. Is no writing of any kind on it anywhere? George
April 24, 201412 yr I think its a Trenton. If it were a Hay Budden, there would be an hour glass shaped indent on the underside of it. Trenton would have a capsule indentation possibly but not always. Any pictures of the bottom?
April 24, 201412 yr Author No bottom pics as I wasn't allowed. Goes up for auction tomorrow. Would no makings make it less valuable ?(keeping in mind that valuable is relative to each individual).

A good cleaning would probably reveal the trenton name. I looked on the net and saw several anvil's identical to that one and they were labeled trenton.
April 24, 201412 yr Author Am I ok to assume a ferriers anvil will be ok for my blacksmithing needs? If so hope I get a reasonable crack at it at the auction.
April 25, 201412 yr A farriers anvil is better than no anvil. The older ones are good,takes a little getting use to the wider horn but I wish I still had my centar kolshawa.
April 25, 201412 yr Author I believe john nailed it. Hay Budden clip horn farriers anvil from around 1912. Thanks to all that replied!
