KSoldiron Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Hello everyone. My brother in law got his hands on an anvil that originally belonged to his grandfather who was a blacksmith. I believe it's a Trenton. Would someone be so kind as to date it for him? Any other interesting tidbits that you might share? I took some pictures where it was sitting in his garage. The weight stamp was 170 and the serial number looks to be 223966. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KSoldiron Posted May 6, 2015 Author Share Posted May 6, 2015 Thank you all for the information. It's amazing how reality differs from the stories that are passed down. My brother-in-law was under the impression that this anvil was much older than it is. I don't think he'll be disappointed but it dispels any myths that it's been in the family for 100+ years.
