C-1ToolSteel Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 It's an early HB with a faceplate. A good quality anvil. Condition of the face will determine its usefulness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 https://www.iforgeiron.com/topic/18789-hay-budden-anvil-catalogue-from-191415/ HB anvils usually have the weight stamped under the name, if yours doesn't have the stamping or you can't make it out you can get a general idea of the weight from the catalog in the link (scroll down to the pdf) post. If you will edit your profile to show your location you may be surprised how many of the gang are near you and a lot of answers are location dependent.

C-1ToolSteel Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 Face is in decent shape. Perfectly usable. I think I can make out maybe a "118" for the weight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 HB's are also weight stamped in pounds so if you can puzzle out what it says (I see the middle 1 clearly) then you will know what it weighted to start. Anvils are often a couple of pounds lighter when weighed nowadays! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
