wellSmith Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 I just recently purchased this anvil and suspect this to be a hay budden but I unfortunately don't know enough about them to tell. The bottom has a rim around the edges and is slightly recessed inside the rim. There is a handling hole in the foot under the heel but not on the foot in front under the horn. The only markings that I can find on it is the eight beside the front handling hole in the waist despite having waisted five pounds of flour trying to find markings. It's killing me not knowing what it is and any help would be greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-1ToolSteel Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 Yep, pretty sure it's a Hay Budden. Stinkin' sweet anvil you got there. The handling hole on the back foot is suprizing, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellSmith Posted November 6, 2017 Author Share Posted November 6, 2017 I am also suspicious of a few other brands for example the American wrought anvil company that was right down the street from the hay buddon factory but I can't find any information on them as far as manufacturing specs or anything.

Black Frog Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 HB no doubt. Guessing it is over 300# from the pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
