Can someone with an Anvils In America Book help me pin point a date on this little beauty.  I have wanted a small arm and hammer for so many years I kinda stopped looking. Perfect size for my leather craft and gunsmith work. 

35008 serial number

Cool little anvil.  A.I.A. 1918 to 1919. 

NNF.

Very nice thank you. My grandmother was born in 1918!

Can you please post a closeup picture of the side logo and the serial number?  I'd like to add it to the A&H logo database!

Her you go bucket is acting up should be fixed now.

Thanks!  I need to figure out a stand and mount for this little guy now.  Not sure what to do any ideas for small anvils are appreciated.

I have a 97 lbs arm and hammer on a oak stump with the feet strapped it seems to be fine for light duty work, never went to town on it though. 

I think that is the direction I might head unless something else catches my eye.  I have a couple more power pole upper beams like i did for the 208 lb A&H. I think i posted photos on here somehwere of that stand.  Just had a big oak trimmed so I have rounds but they are a little too short I think.

Fantastic!  Do you have stamp and serial number for your other A&H?

the actual arm holding the hammer logo is slightly less detailed and the "wrought iron" print was dropped

49586 

208lb

 

thanks! :-)

 

Bad photo links in every post above.  Can some of you guys see them?  I can't see any.  

something is wrong with photobucket.com they are down

on garage journal everyone with bucket has the same problem.

I'm a recent convert to steel anvil stands, having welded up the one in my avatar pic. My anvil's only a bit bigger than yours (148#), but fastening it tightly to the steel stand doubled its effective weight.

I noticed while looking at the 4th picture that underneath the word arm and hammer that it looks like someone's initials (J.N.S.) do yall think that it is one of the previous owners? That's a sweet looking anvil! Would be a good size maybe for a workbench when laying out cold steel.

yes I saw that as well.  there is a little story with it.  they guy I got it from picked it up from the local retired shop teacher In the small town where my wide grew up.  those are not his initials so I'm trying to get in touch with the shop teacher to find out where he got it.  the guy I got it from Sam the shop teacher had it for a long time.  the shop teacher was the only reason my father in law graduated high school!!

There's a rather lengthy thread wherein I detailed the design process and its construction. I strongly recommend scale models!

Will check your thread out
