Eddie47 Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 I was wondering if one one could date my Hay 100# anvil? The serial number is 145323 which I’m thinking is around 1907 or 1908. Can anyone confirm this please? Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Welcome aboard Eddie, glad to have you. If you'll put your general location in the header you might be surprised how many members live within visiting distance. Here I was all primed to make a wise crack about taking your anvil out on a date if nobody else wanted to but it's an old joke. I'm sure someone with a copy of Anvils in America will be along before long. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie47 Posted June 16, 2019 Author Share Posted June 16, 2019 Thank you frosty. I live in Carlisle Pennsylvania. My dad had this anvil ever since I was a lad and have no idea where he got it from. It sat in his garage many years after he died and I never paid any attention to it until I started getting into making knives. I was surprised to find out it was a Hay Budden. I’ll try to post pictures of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie47 Posted June 17, 2019 Author Share Posted June 17, 2019 Sorry about starting another thread about this anvil but I realized I was piggy backing on another thread trying to get a date on this particular piece.

We won't remember this once leaving this post, hence the suggestion to edit your profile to show location. BTW this thread will help getting the best out of the forum. READ THIS FIRST Oh AIA says your anvil was made in 1907. She looks to be in very good condition too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
