Chris C Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 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 !) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bekemeier1631 Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Thank you, I thought I updated it turns out I forgot to save it! hahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris C Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 That's okay. We'll cut you some slack..........even if you do have a beautiful, most enviable, 150# Trenton. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Special Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 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.

Bekemeier1631 Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Thank you, not planning on selling just curious. I appreciate you guys taking the time to help me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

con540 Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njanvilman Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 The serial number located on the front right base is used to date Trenton anvils. They made lots of different weights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 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.)

Frosty Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
