smfg_mendo Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 I have seen many ads for trenton and peter wright as well as Vulcan, I also own a few misc. copies of those. I am looking for any original advertisement ads for Arm and Hammer anvils. If anyone has some pdf scans or extras they want to sell let me know or post Them up for all to enjoy. I have searched through here but did not find any. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie Mullins Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 I bought my first Arm and Hammer recently and was hoping to learn a little more about them. Thanks for posting these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smfg_mendo Posted April 14, 2015 Author Share Posted April 14, 2015 (edited) thank you for these they are great.whats the specs on your arm and hammer Mullin Edited April 14, 2015 by smfg_mendo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Mullins Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Mine is a 152 lbs and in really nice condition. It has an oval depression in the bottom, I know some some did and some did not. The rebound is pretty good, but not quite as good as my Vanadium. It has a 1 1/4 inch hardy hole that isn't quite square, punch/chisel marks are visible. I have heard these anvils aren't as "pretty" as others, but don't know if this is one of the common attributes or if mine has seen some abuse. EIther way, it took me 2 years to find and has been a pleasure to use for the little time that I have had it. I'd like to date it just out of curiosity, but no copy of AIA so can't decipher the serial number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverDeck Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 (edited) What did your rebound turn out to be, Eddie. I have a 1913 90 lb Arm & Hammer (marked for Belknap in Louisville, KY) and got results between 90-95% rebound when I did a ball bearing test on it (10" drop height).

Eddie Mullins Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Just eyeballing a 3/4" ball bearing drop test, I'd say the Vanadium is in the 90% area and the Arm and Hammer in the 75%. However, the feel of the rebound when tested with a hammer seems pretty comperable, and breaking down stock seems more efficient. This could be a factor of the heavier weight of the Arm and Hammer as compared to the 70 lb Vanadium in conjunction with the rebound.
