December 1, 20178 yr Hey, I am a new member and just ran across a 140 pound Trenton. It has 123590 0n the front and a U on the underside. Can anybody tell me when it was made? I bought it at a flea market and will use it here on the ranch. Anvils aren't cheap in my area of the world, but this one was reasonable, and I am glad to have it. Thanks for any help!
December 1, 20178 yr Author Wouldn't do much good. You can see the TON in Trenton and that's about it.
December 1, 20178 yr I'd like to record it for the Trenton logo database if possible. The "...TON" is usually enough to identify which style logo it was.
December 1, 20178 yr Perfect, thank you! That is the third style of U.S.-based logo stamps that Trenton used in production. A.I.A. indicates 1914.

I have too many friends with non . . . standard tastes to make assumptions. Nice score on the Trenton, top shelf anvils though they can be unpleasantly loud. Have you decided on a stand? What other smithing tools do you have? Frosty The Lucky.
December 2, 20178 yr Yep, we have lady smiths in britches and men forging in skirts (yea, you just go ahead and call them kilts...) we don't descriminate and hot steel dosnt care about your gender, gender identity or gender of romantic interest either.

December 2, 20178 yr Author Will have a tripod built for it. Mainly to use around the shop. It really has a ring to it. The guy had another 150 pound that had a duller sound.
