Trenton ID question


Recommended Posts

I am looking at a 150-lb. anvil that is clearly stamped Trenton but there is an hourglass-shaped depression on the base. From what I've been reading this is not typical of Trenton anvils. Is this true? Should I be wary of buying this beast?

 

The only other markings that I can make out besides the Trenton stamp on the side is a number on the right side of the front base "760."

 

Gonna take a look at in in person tomorrow.

I have  one like that. I think I can locate a picture of it here.........

 

Use it ALL the time. I'd say maybe 80/90 pounds????? A hundred tops???

 

It has one heck of an odd-ball hardy hole. 13/16" at the top and is tapered.

 

Who in their right mand wants a 13/16 hardy hole. My tools have to be custom fit to use on/in this anvil.

 

The other anvils here are more normal; 7/8" and 1"
