Conrad.blacksmithing Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 I have long been dreaming of acquiring a Hay Budden. My dreams have come true! I recently bought this 82# HB in pretty good shape for $150! The gentleman whom I bought it from never quite got his forge setup and he told me that he would rather his tools go to a blacksmith that would appreciate them (I got other tools from him as well). If anyone who has Postman's Anvils in America could tell me the birthday for a HB with a serial number of 218701 that would be greatly appreciated! I'm sorry, I will try to get a copy when I get a book about Kerrihard power hammers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Should be 1914 according to AIA. Looks to be in pretty good shape and for $1.82 a pound U.S. good price too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
