JME1149 Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 That is a nice looking little anvil. I've never seen that style of marking on a HB before, thanks for sharing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Very nice, I'd say the US would indicate a traveling anvil for the Army. Most of the navy anvils were much heavier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlpservicesinc Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Wow, what that little darling set you back? Nice find.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timber Ridge Forge Posted November 3, 2018 Author Share Posted November 3, 2018 Yeah before Hay-Budden they started making anvils under there own brand they made it for a company called S.D Kimbark out of Chicago this is one of the two makers marks they had. I found this Northern Wisconsin. I also have its much bigger cousin a 1st year 350lbs(my main shop anvil) with most of that maker’s mark gone. Price wise I actually bought it with the intent as an investment since the collector market is so high right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
