Chuck63 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 I have recently found an old anvil which i believe has been in my family for a very long time. I believe it is an early Trenton but not too sure. I found the stamping on the base. I think it is 128#. Have a look at pictures. I would be interested in knowing how old it is. It is in good shape as you will be able to see from the pics. Thanks in advance . Side note, wont upload photos. Stamping show A11742 and what looks like #or R128. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njanvilman Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 That serial # puts it at 1899, if it is a Trenton brand. The 128 should be a weight in lb. If it is a Hay Budden, the serial number puts it at 1918. All according to AIA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
