Stormcrow Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Helping out, this is a picture of the anvil in question. Can't really see any more of the markings, but gives you an idea of the condition. haybudden by James Helm, on Flickr Wayne's not looking for value, just a time frame on his latest addition to his shop.

Thanks Welcome to the forum. If you 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. As far as when your Hay Budden was made someone with a copy of Anvils in America will be able to tell you approximately when she was made. Hay Budden started using an A prefix to the serial number around 1918 so yours was made after that date. It's a good looking usable anvil just as it sits, however many anvils have been ruined by welding and grinding on the faces. I hope seriously that hasn't happened to your excellent anvil. How is the ring and rebound on it? Might want to read through this thread, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandlapper Posted December 11, 2017 Author Share Posted December 11, 2017 The ring is great and also the bounce, I have a 251lb. hay budden and have been looking for a sister for it. This will help with the horn being more a farrier type and helps with scrolls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
