Pyrostic Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 Hey guys, Just the I would show off my new to me Hay Budden. From what I can tell it was made in 1906, and weighs 190lb. I will be putting it on a scale tomorrow. I am just starting out, and was going to use a railroad anvil, but I found this. I do live in Denver so they are on the pricier side. Couldn't let this go by me. Great rebound and ring. Thanks for reading! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGGUNDOCTOR Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 It is a farrier pattern for horse shoes, but it looks like someone clipped the clip horn off the side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyrostic Posted June 9, 2018 Author Share Posted June 9, 2018 From what I have read, there is a farrier plain horn and a clip horn. Looks just like the plane horn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farmall Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 If you do a search for the 1914 Hay Budden catalog that is on this site (as well as some others - I have even seen pdf copies for sale on EBay-and I’m the one that created the single file pdf of it!). You can see a plain horn and clip horn and the difference between them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 The plain horn doesn't have that clip coming off the side of it. Now the clip has been truncated; but the remains are there. Also the two pritchel holes are indicative of a farrier's pattern. I've owned both types of Hay Buddens. Still have a couple of the smithing anvils; let my swell horn Farrier's anvil go a long time ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyrostic Posted June 10, 2018 Author Share Posted June 10, 2018 Two different types of farrier anvils I have the one on the left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Geist Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 Mr Powers is correct. The clip horn has been taken off. Nonetheless it's a great score. Enjoy it! George Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlblohm Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 I would have to agree with pyrostic that the horn is how it is supposed to be. When you look close at the advertisment the one on the left is what he has. Here is a picture of the 2 types of farrier patterns hay budden made.

That settles that pretty easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdriack Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 Nice Find! I really love my Hay Budden. I could be totally wrong - but, above the side markings it looks like it might have had a welded repair and some grinding??? If the rebound is good - it really doesn't matter. It will serve you well for years to come! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyrostic Posted June 17, 2018 Author Share Posted June 17, 2018 I thought so at first, but I think it is just where the face got welded on to the body. But who knows. The rebound is 85 to 90 percent across the whole face, measured at 10inches with a 1 inch ball bearing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanglediver Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 In my professional opinion, it has been arc welded. But if it rebounds, no harm, no foul. Nice upgrade from a rail! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyrostic Posted June 17, 2018 Author Share Posted June 17, 2018 Thanks for the input guys, I'm really happy with it, and it's definitely a step up from the retail track! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
