Trenton year ID?

Hi there - first time post.

I recently purchased a 90 pound trenton anvil with the following markings:

- L91 (weight i assume? Bathroom scale puts it at 90 pounds)

- U.S.A.

- SOLIDWROT

- A4850

 

I know that seems like a low digit serial number, but the more i look at the spacing and the depth of indentation, I think its correct. From the little I've found it appears to be an early anvil. Any help would be appreciated!

 

Thanks,

 

Chris

Welcome to IFI... Have you read this yet? It will help you get the best out of the forum. https://www.iforgeiron.com/topic/53873-read-this-first/

Pretty good looking Trenton you have there. Where in the world is it located? Have you read about not grinding, milling or welding on the hardened face?

Hey there - thanks for the welcome. I did read that, thank you for the link. 

The anvil lives here with me in Boise, Idaho... I'll update my profile shortly. I have read about caring for the hardened face, appreciate the tip. I'm early in my stages of tool collecting and shop set up, currently I work too much and have too many little kids to spend much meaningful time out there! Hopefully in a few years when things slow down a little (i know, right... ha!) I'll have a decent start to playing with some hot metal. 

Thanks again!
