NoName Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 BR, Great find. Most likely, Trenton stamped on the front foot, 100 would be pounds, numbers on the right is the serial number. We need to feed the Frog...Please take pictures of the logo, and stamping on the front foot. Better pictures more information, thanks. 207 make me think of home...? N.N.F. Beautiful, Manchester, Michigan. USA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 "Any help would be greatly appreciated." Since the help you need must be in getting rid of it; just cover the face of it with US$100 bills and ship it to me... Or you could specify what kind of help you are looking for: cleaning, preserving, mounting, dating; using,...? You know what it is you are trying to get. We don't Anvils tend to mess up the mind reading satellite lasers big time due to their effects on the magnetic fields.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebound is awesome, i think, never had an anvil before. 100 pounds......Some WD40 and a Wire wheel on my 7" grinder cleaned her up pretty well.

ThomasPowers Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Acme was one of the Sears Roebuck house brands but they had them made by top American anvil makers (Like Trenton/CFI for one!) The 1905 SR catalog shows an ACME anvil priced at 8.5 cents a pound for 80 pounds and up for instance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frozenforge Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 As said before a Trenton anvil labeled ACME, (custom order by Mr Wile E. Coyote), made 1911. Appears to be in good condition and at .25 per lb when the usual going rate is around $3 to $4 per lb or higher, depending on your location, you got one heck of a deal!

Welcome to the forum... https://www.iforgeiron.com/topic/53873-read-this-first You got a heck of a deal, most of us only dream about. If you edit your profile to show your location, you may be surprised how many members are near you and a lot of answers are location dependent.

Black Frog Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 AIA indicates 1911 for the serial number shown. You can see where the ACME stamped was whacked right on top of the Trenton diamond logo. This was fairly common for Trenton Acme's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
