ken.livesey Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 (edited) All, I have recently purchased this anvil at an auction for my son who has been using various other devices as anvils. The anvil was a surprise buy and the house did not have any information on the anvil; however, from what I can tell with my limited exp, it looks a lot like a Trenton. I have attached a picture of the Anvil and the markings from the base. Thanks for your time and input, Ken... Edited February 25, 2019 by Mod30 resize large photos.

ThomasPowers Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 What does the bottom look like? Caplet indentation? Hourglass? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Frog Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Columbus Forge & Iron Co, most likely marked Trenton. Many in this serial range were stamped for hardware companies. Please post a closeup of the other side of the anvil! Sometimes remnants of the logo stamp can be made out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
