Sheeder Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Can anyone help me out with any info on my 202 lb Trenton anvil? I'd really like to know when it was made and any other info that can be discerned from the serial number. It says 202 on the left and 176030 on the right. Thanks in advance!

NoName Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Looks like a 1920. N.N.F. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matto Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Pics of the side and logo would help for more info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Frog Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Please, closeup pics of the side logo stamp! This serial number would help out for the logo database, this would help to slightly "fill the gap" in serial number ranges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheeder Posted June 25, 2016 Author Share Posted June 25, 2016 Sorry, I'm just getting back to you guys. I'm in the middle of moving and the heat and humidity has been just dandy here in Oklahoma (heavy sarcasm here). It feels like August and not June. I will try to get a pic of the logo up here ASAP. I have the anvil in storage temporarily. The logo is pretty worn though and if I remember correctly all you can see is the "TON" of Trenton or maybe just "ON". Thanks for the responses!

Black Frog Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 ....sometimes all I need to see is just a little bit to determine what style logo it might be. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheeder Posted July 12, 2016 Author Share Posted July 12, 2016 Here are the closeup pics of the logo, like I said, it's only a partial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Frog Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Thank you! That style is the 5th used in U.S. manufacturing, one of the higher serial numbers I've seen for that style. Much appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheeder Posted July 12, 2016 Author Share Posted July 12, 2016 So what year would you say it was made? What information can be extracted from the serial number on it? Just out of curiosity, how many styles of logos did Trenton use? I really appreciate your help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Frog Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 As NoName mentioned above, that would be 1920 according to A.I.A. Trenton had many different logo styles through their history. The German Trentons had different stamp styles, but they did not include serial numbers so no way to track them. The U.S. manufacturing had several different styles of stamps. I'm always collecting more samples, but as of now it's looking like they had seven different styles of stamps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
