Wynn Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 I have recently purchased a Trenton anvil and I could use some help with the year it was manufactured. The number appears to be 456994. The other side might be 120 or 130. Did Trenton make a 130 pound anvil? Thank you for all replies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Frog Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 That isn't a leading four digit in the serial number, it is an "A" prefix. 56994 serial. Please post a close-up picture of the side logo stamp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Frog Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Anvils In America indicates 1905 date for your anvil, thanks for the pictures! That is the second style of U.S.-based logo stamp that Trenton used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wynn Posted August 8, 2017 Author Share Posted August 8, 2017 Black Frog, your help is greatly appreciated. I will upload a full picture of it. I'm a proud papa. I have waited many years to find one. I purchased it for $200. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Trenton made a bunch of different sizes and most manufacturers would do custom work too! A good bathroom scale can indicate what the number should be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wynn Posted August 8, 2017 Author Share Posted August 8, 2017 Thank you. I'm trying to source a bathroom scale at the local thrift stores. It seems the weights were kind of all over the place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Sneak it into your Dr's office or ask to use the sales scale at the local feed store---it should be accurately calibrated. Me I can put it on the scale at the scrapyard too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
