Jamie Gormley Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 Howdy...been searching for my first anvil and my day came yesterday. My sister in law brought me a Lakeside anvil with 125 stamp. In the process of cleaning it up. Ss# number ( I believe) is 188283. It was on a farm in North Dakota now, in western Colorado. Looking for history and enlightenment.

If this is your location we won't remember it after leaving this post, hence the suggestion to edit your profile to show location. READ THIS FIRST That thread will help you get the best out of the forum. This thread shows some information about Lakeside anvils, even though the pictures are lost. https://www.iforgeiron.com/topic/29718-lakeside-anvil/ I found several threads about Lakeside's using google and including iforgeiron.com in the search.

Black Frog Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Nice Trenton anvil, AIA indicates 1924 production. The 125 on the left side is the weight stamp. Thanks for the pics, I added them to the Trenton logo database I have going. Your anvils carries the 7th style of Trenton logo stamp they used in U.S. production. I have also recorded the sequential anvil to yours, 188284, also stamped Lakeside, and also the same 125 pounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 The caplet indentation in the base is characteristic of Trentons (and sometimes a few Arm and Hammers.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
