ThomasPowers Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Does yours have an indentation on the bottom? I have a 91# A&H that is my travel anvil; traded for it in Arkansas and then ended up moving it back to Columbus Ohio. Great brand! I don't remember the date or serial for mine I've owned it for over 35 years and the date doesn't affect it's use any! I also have a 410# Trenton; also made in Columbus Ohio; but originally sold to a copper mine in AZ. It was later sold to the fellow who brought it back to central OH where I traded for it and ended up bringing it to NM when I moved out here. Lotta miles on it!

Tomy Posted June 6, 2019 Author Share Posted June 6, 2019 What do you mean "indentation" on the bottom? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Many anvils have a "hollow" on the bottom and the shape of it can sometimes indicate what brand it was if the stampings are obscured. So the "caplet" indentation was mainly used by Trenton; but also a few Arm and Hammers and the Hourglass indentation was used by Hey Budden and a few Trentons. The presence of a handling hold in the base can also be indicative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
