garbear Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 No idea where it was made. This was given to my brother from our grandpa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 I don't know what country you are in but here in the USA the very thin heel might indicate a Arm and Hammer or Trenton. Is the underside of the heel undulating? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garbear Posted May 25, 2016 Author Share Posted May 25, 2016 I don't know. We live in Utah. My grandpa lived across the road from the black smiths shop. He spent hours as a boy watching the man work. He often spoke of it. My love of tools and fixing things I learned from him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7A749 Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 If you turn your phone to the horizontal position. The pics should post straight. Im interested in seeing the bottom of the anvil too. I'm completely clueless about them for the most part but I'm wondering what the deal with the bottom is. Looks like the entire bottom half from the waist down is gone..

Buzzkill Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 My money is on a Hay Budden that was broken at the waist and a "new" base attached to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7A749 Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Yeah, the proportions are all off. That's what made me think it had broken or was cut, whatever. I guess half an anvil is better than none at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garbear Posted August 5, 2016 Author Share Posted August 5, 2016 Ok. Found Mark on the side of anvil. The bottom is gone. Looks like angle steel welded to it and whole thing bolted to the stand. Ok. Couldn't get a clear picture. But is a diamond. Its a Trenton. I couldn't make out what the weight was. I lightly sanded with wd40 and steel wool but didn't wAnt alter it since it is my brothers.

ThomasPowers Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Good anvil! I have the base of a PW (well that's what Postman thought it was from) that evidently got used a lot after the top separated as it's nicely mushroomed; still weight stamped so we know it was a complete anvil at some point...
