pjnelson1 Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 I am looking for information on an anvil. It looks very sturdy and someone said it was i good shape. a few markings on it... see photos. My grandson loves forged in fire... but I am not sure if he will ever sling a hammer. Any info will be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 Any number on the front of the foot below the horn? How much does it weigh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjnelson1 Posted April 26, 2021 Author Share Posted April 26, 2021 I will check for numbers. No idea on weight. It is attached to the stand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjnelson1 Posted April 26, 2021 Author Share Posted April 26, 2021 Just these symbols and number... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 Well the weight and serial number should be on that front foot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjnelson1 Posted April 26, 2021 Author Share Posted April 26, 2021 I checked again. the foot of the anvil is recessed into the base. It is such a heavy piece that I cannot even budge to look. Would take 3 men to move... if it ever gets moved, I will be sure to look at that area of the foot. I guess it will remain a mystery.

Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 The anvil is a Trenton, for a time they used TreXton in the logo. They are very good anvils and I hope you have read about not doing any grinding, milling or welding on the hardened face, which does more harm than good. There are a couple of threads dealing with both names in the anvil section. Reading through them will give you a pretty good idea about yours. If you put a long bar in the square handling hole, you will be able to rock the anvil up out of the stand enough to see the numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjnelson1 Posted April 26, 2021 Author Share Posted April 26, 2021 wow... thanks for information. when someone comes over, I will see if the trick to rocking it will reveal the numbers:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
