TownesVanRant Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Newb to the iforge but want to kick off by asking you vets for help identifying this anvil. Should have some better photos and measurments/weight tomorrow. Owner says no names he could see. A ways off so Im trying to get a good idea before making the trip to buy. What I know so far. About 30"-34" inches long. Estimated that it was at least 200lbs. Looks like a carbon laminate face. Ive requested a bunch of photos. We will see. Thanks in advance.

Ferrous Beuler Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 I could be wrong but to my eye that looks like a Hay Budden and probably north of 200 lbs. Very good condition from just one photo. Worth the trip if the price is fair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TownesVanRant Posted September 25, 2017 Author Share Posted September 25, 2017 Maybe I can get a positive ID tomorrow. I thought the face and edges looked in great shape. What is a 200+lb Hay Budden worth these days. I know the prices have went up in recent years it seems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-1ToolSteel Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Most likely a Farrier's pattern Trenton or Arm and Hammer. Both, very nice anvils. If it passes the rebound test, and the price is right, buy it!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dylan Sawicki Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 My money is on Trenton, ask for a pic of under the base and under the horn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatfudd Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 That long thin tail and the two pritchel holes would probably make it a Trenton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
