Hey guys, 

I'm new to the site and I was wondering if someone could help me out. I just purchased my first anvil and it's a 135# hay budden, I'm trying to find out when it was made . The serial number is 19469 . Any help would be greatly appreciated.

19469 would be from the year 1895,

if there is an A in front of the serial # it would make it from the year 1919

Thank you very much . It doesn't have the a in front. 

Im wondering if you could post a pic of the bottom?

I will when I get home this evening.

Here is the picture of the bottom. What will that show you if I may ask?

Helps put another datapoint for the hourglass details on width of walls and depth of indentation.

Ok
