June 22, 20205 yr I'm a newbie guys so hoping you can help. I have an early (I think) 147# Hay Budden anvil that was originally from Ohio (as far as I know). The serial # is 7421. Any idea of the year manufactured ~ and any other info you can provide? It look like part of the stamping under the HB name includes CT?
June 22, 20205 yr 1893 according to AIA. Hope you have read about not doing any grinding, milling or welding on the hardened face. If you edit your profile to show your location, you may be surprised how many members are near you and a lot of answers depend upon knowing where in the world you are located. That's an outstanding Hay Budden for sure.
June 22, 20205 yr Thank you so much! I will have to edit my profile. I'm in central Indiana, just west of Indianapolis. Appreciate you looking up the year made!
June 22, 20205 yr You're welcome, use it in good health, we love our Hay Budden even though it's not in as good condition as yours.
September 21, 20205 yr My 102 pound hay burden anvil serial number is 6406 or 64c6...what year would this be ty
July 11, 20214 yr I know this is an old post and Jeffdaniel hasn’t visited since last fall but if your lurking as a guest, or for anyone else with the same numbers that’s curious, anvils in America list serial numbers 3001-9000 as made in 1893, on page 303.
September 20, 20223 yr I just picked up a HB I believe the serial number is 141050 any guess on the year
September 20, 20223 yr Welcome from the Ozark mountains. From the AIA list I have your anvil was made in 1907 (125001-150000) range of serial numbers. Do you have any pictures of it, we love pictures as long as they are not too large. Hope you have read about not doing any grinding, milling or welding on it's hardened steel face.
September 21, 20223 yr She looks almost unused! Don't worry, the paint won't hurt it anvils are tough. In truth paint may have gone a long way towards it looking so good now. Frosty The Lucky.
January 24, 20233 yr Just got my HB home and it’s serial # is 137599. Could anyone help me out with year made? Thank you
January 24, 20233 yr Welcome from the Ozark mountains. Hope you have read about not doing any grinding, milling or welding to the hardened face, which unless done correctly, will cause more harm than good.
February 6, 20242 yr I was cleaning up a gifted to me anvil to mount to a newly fabricated stand and was wondering what the maker was. Looks like a Hay Budden 72# stamped A3110. Don't worry Irondragon, I only used a gentle rust remover disk . Does the A3110 mean American 1893?
February 7, 20242 yr Welcome from the Ozark Mountains. Looks like a pretty good 72 pound Hay Budden to me. How did it do on the ring & rebound test? Serial number A3110 was made in 1918 the range for that year is A1-A12,000. The price was certainly right. I can't control the wind, all I can do is adjust my sail’s. Semper Paratus
July 2, 20241 yr Greetings, Was gifted a HB that was used as a patio ornament. Wire wheeling the rust off and was wondering the year this was made. The serial number I can find is not well stamped. Looks like either 183438 or 78438. Number 3 is also stamped here and there on the tool. Thank you
July 2, 20241 yr Welcome from the Ozark Mountains. Pictures would help in the ID also where in the world you are located. 18438 would be 1895, 78438 would be 1902 according to Anvils in America. I can't control the wind, all I can do is adjust my sail’s. Semper Paratus
