huntin269 Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Came across an old anvil on my family's farm. Found a couple Maker's Marks. Maybe someone here can make more out than I can. Fyi if the horn is pointing north the marks are on the east side. Thanks. Can get more pics if needed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frozenforge Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Need pictures of the whole anvil, the bottom and the edges of the base. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Frog Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 That is a Trenton anvil with the Buell Patent stamp. Please take a close-up picture of the serial number on the front foot under the horn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 If I'm reading the weight right, it looks like a nice 120 pound farrier's pattern anvil. It needs nothing more than hot steel hammered on it to shine up the face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huntin269 Posted February 7, 2018 Author Share Posted February 7, 2018 Ya definitely farrier anvil. Numbers I see for weight is 129. Almost looks like a decimal between 2 and 9. I'm able to move it pretty easy so I'm guessing that its not using the "hundreth" scale or it would be upwards of 180. Not going to go crazy but I will give it a cleaning.

Marc1 Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 I like farrier anvils. That little shelf is very handy to start scrolls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
