Mark Ling Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 well, the diamond on it looks like a Trenton but the rest of it doesn't. I'm not sure what it is. Littleblacksmith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatfudd Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Early Boker trenton anvil, looks to be in good condition. That's an outstanding deal! in good condition like yours collectors are paying a premium. They were either made in Germany or England there is some question about the manufacturing location. Some are marked Germany and i have seen one that was marked USA. Maybe if you rub some chalk on the side you'll be able to see more lettering.

Fatfudd Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 Indian Chief was a trademark of Trenton, They regularly labeled their leg vises and LARGE bridge anvils with the indian chief logo. They occasionally also labeled their regular anvils with the indian chief trademark. I owned one and traded it to Fred Moore who collects anvils and also had one. You can see both of them by looking at the youtube under largest anvil collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goblin79 Posted June 26, 2016 Author Share Posted June 26, 2016 that's good info what years was the anvil and vice made Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatfudd Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 I don't have that info but the anvil I owned was of the earlier base configuration and the one that Fred owns was of the later base type with the caplet shape.. they would have corresponding serial numbers. The vises were sometimes dated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
