That would require knowing where in the world you are located. Did you read this? READ THIS FIRST

I am in Ohio my apologies. Here is a picture.

 

Update your location in your profile.  We'll forget in 10 minutes where you live it you don't.  The reason we ask you do that is not because we're gonna "storm" your house, it's because you may have someone, or a bunch of someones living near you who are smiths and can be of assistance. 

Beautiful anvil by the way.  Of course, I'm not at all envious of your for having it.  (That's a bunch of BS !) 

 

Thank you, I thought I updated it turns out I forgot to save it! hahaha

That's okay.  We'll cut you some slack..........even if you do have a beautiful, most enviable, 150# Trenton.

A good Trenton, in Ohio, in decent shape...assuming the rebound is good, maybe four to five a lb, a bit more than a lot of other brands. At 150 lbs, maybe $600 or $700 dollars. Trentons are good anvils and popular.  Depends on the buyer. Wouldn't sell that one less than $450.

Thank you, not planning on selling just curious. I appreciate you guys taking the time to help me!

Will you be at Quad State Blacksmiths Round Up in Late September in Troy Ohio this year?  Usually several hundred anvils for sale there for price comparisons---as well as the demo's including a beginers class.

I have a Z 103# Trenton serial number A17506. Anyone have an idea of the age?

Thanks for any info

Welcome aboard Blaze80r, Someone with a copy of AIA will be along to give you a date range of your very nice looking Trenton. I hope you have read about not doing any grinding, milling or welding on it's hardened steel face.

120 years young!

Good deal. Thanks for the info. 

about to pick up a Trenton 196 pounder. Haven't cleaned it up yet, but was wondering if they had specific target weights in manufacturing that would indicate age.

The serial number located on the front right base is used to date Trenton anvils.  They made lots of different weights.

 

The earliest Trentons didn't have the serial on the front foot as I recall and the side switched over time as well if I recall Anvils in America correctly. (Also the foot sometimes can be heavily corroded so you can't tell if it was stamped or not. I have a 410# one like that.  Good clear caplet and configuration though.)

Looking to find out when this would've been made. Any ideas?

I have a 150lb trenton with serial number 130126, what year and where is it from?

 

My, you have such a charming way of asking folk you don't know to do you a favor. You could go to the library and look it up in Anvils In America or ILL a copy if your library doesn't have it.

Frosty The Lucky.

It's from the Trenton factory. Where are you from?

Frosty.  The new ones need a little poke in the right direction on how to ask a question politely. :-)

That's why we have the Read This First thread. JHCC put so much work into it and new folks just completely ignore it.

What; did you say something IDFCW?

It's from Columbus Ohio, USA, North America, Sol 3, Milky Way, Parallel universe #^$%*&YUIujhgvRTYGHVHIYT'   Timepoint:  436,117,076,640,000,000, more or less.

Ya, I was thinking maybe German made but realized the serial number would put it from Ohio (just like me only Euclid).

Yes John is the Non-Euclidian IFI'r.
