T Deck Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 First two are the sellers photos. The logo is after a little cleanup. The hardy tool was dressed to fit down on the shoulders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Frog Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 How about 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...
T Deck Posted May 13, 2018 Author Share Posted May 13, 2018 Not very good but the best I can do for now, The 7 is all I can make out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Back off a ways with the camera. A little chalk or flour, rubbed in and wiped off the surface and use oblique lighting or a bit of tissue paper over the flash if you can't use oblique light. Direct flash doesn't bring out worn textural details like stamped or cast proud characters. A LIGHT touch with a wire brush can make a difference too but what's done is done in this case. Not really a mistake it just tends to cover what you're looking to learn. As long as nobody has taken a grinder or sander to the face it hasn't damaged the anvil. Make sense? Frosty The Lucky.

T Deck Posted May 13, 2018 Author Share Posted May 13, 2018 I wire brushed it by hand. The face is good just the feet are really rough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T Deck Posted May 14, 2018 Author Share Posted May 14, 2018 Possibly 48317 or 48817, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Frog Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 I haven't recorded that logo style in the 43k or 48k range. If you can do the same chalk dusting on the side logo stamp, that can help with dating as well. They used several different styles of logo stamp through their production.
