Pierceknives Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Hey my step dad just gave me this anvil. Ive figured out its a trenton and weights 165lbs but i would really like to know the age. A 82685 or a 8268.5 im keeping it, but what are these anvils worth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Frog Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Appears you have a Phoenix hardware brand. Can you please take a closeup of the side logo stamp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Prices are location dependent---just like houses! So where is it? Also does it pass the ball bearing and ring tests? (to check for hidden damage---sort of like starting a used car you plan to buy...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like Thomas said, value of anvils are very location dependent. If you edit your profile to show your location, I'm sure some of the gang will give you a pretty good estimate of the value and many may be near you to visit and check out the ring & rebound. In my area it would sell for $300-$400 depending on condition but your pictures do not show the face... if you have read through some of the threads, I'm sure you have seen the advice about not grinding or welding on your anvil, a wire brush is fine for cleaning it up.
