Help ID'ing a 440# anvil


Recommended Posts

Second character might be a 4 instead of an H? Also, the third character might be a G instead of a 0. Maaaaybe a 3 at the end?
 

 

Honestly really hoping someone is able to divine something I've missed with their knowledge of anvils.

I've taken a whole bunch of pictures from different angles and tried to trace out what I can see. Very hard to tell the signal from the noise. To save on the IFI servers, I've uploaded the pics to imgur. See here: Link removed

Any secret tips on how to make stuff like this clearer? I'm almost tempted to rig up a giant electrolysis bath, as ridiculous as one that size would be.

To bring out the information, dust with flour, baby powder, etc then gently brush off the excess from the surface leaving the powder in the indentations.  Another way is to use a strong light from a low angle, or take a pencil rubbing on paper.
