November 2, 20187 yr That is a nice looking little anvil. I've never seen that style of marking on a HB before, thanks for sharing.
November 2, 20187 yr Very nice, I'd say the US would indicate a traveling anvil for the Army. Most of the navy anvils were much heavier.
November 3, 20187 yr Author 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.
November 3, 20187 yr Author Yeah it was definitely a find. I love the history of blacksmith equipment.
