ThomasPowers Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 NO! It means a waist weld is not indicative of a 2 piece anvil as it was used on 3,4,5,6 piece anvils as well. You have to search for the other possible weld seams and rule them out. Sort of like "My Ford has 4 wheels does that mean it's a Mustang?"

My 155 HB was manufactuered in 1895 (confirmed) and I always assumed it was a two piece design because of the large line across the top of the waist that I assumed was where it was welded together, but now I'm wondering if it was just rough casting marks because the manufacturing date doesn't seem to coincide with the shift to two piece design? Along with the obvious weld I see what looks like 3 numbers stamped in to the side back by the heal which tells me it is or at least should be a later 2 piece Hay. I can't double check AIA right now but my guess would be that either it was stamped incorrectly or a number has been misread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
