Hoping someone with a AIA book can help me find a date on my 110# Trenton anvil.  The serial number is A20761.  Thanks in advance!

please post a picture of the side logo stamp and serial number, I'd like to add it to the logo database.

 

Hard to get a good angle with good light on the logo......  

IF you can't position the anvil or lights to get oblique lighting try putting a single ply of tissue paper over the flash to diffuse it. rubbing it with chalk or charcoal and wiping the surface off will help define the marks.

Frosty The Lucky.

According to AIA 1901 ballpark.

 

Thanks much!

I am also looking for a date on my Trenton anvil. 100# serial# 228809. I inherited from my dad and have worked with it for years but I just recently started looking into the brands and quality of an anvil. I guess I just never thought about it before

thanks

Hello, I just purchased a 200# Trenton from a retired welder who was tired of tripping over it in his garage.  Very nice!  The serial # in the picture seems to be 221729, and the logo is in the second picture.  From previous posts, I'm guessing this dates it back to around 1930?  Does the serial # suggest a specific year?

Thanks for all the info in these pages,

Tim
