I just acquired a Hay Budden and would like to know more about it, if possible. I'll give as much info as I can but for some xxxx reason my computer won't accept pictures.

Below Hay Budden on the side it seems to say ???? factoring. Of course below that is Brooklyn New York. Below that is stamped 150. Probably the weight as I could hardly carry it, but at 80 years old I guess that's not too bad.

It's stamped 6665 on the base below the horn.

Dimensions are 25" length, 15-1/4" x 4" face with a 7/8" hardy hole and 7/16" pritchel hole, 10-3/8" high.

It has a square hole in the base and two more in the waist under the horn and tail. There's what I believe to be a round face welded on the side of the horn. I've seen these referred to as clip pieces for farriers. That may be as the horn has a ridge in it, maybe for rounding shoe stock.

 Any information would be very appreciated.

It says manufacturing and if that is the only numbers on the base below the horn it would date it 1893.
