Graffiti anvil, brand new to blacksmithing...

I’m flipping through AinA but the serial numbers under arm am hammer don’t go that high, or start with a letter 

the haybudden does but not with the letter A, the serials with A stop much lower

trenton goes that high but it doesn’t list theirs as starting with A 

[ThomasPowers]

A may not be part of the serial number too, I'd hold out for the shape of the indentation on the base.

Well just browsing the book,

if it’s a Trenton it’s a 1913 

if it’s a haybudden it’s a 1906 

I’m still looking though

Not a Hay Budden, their weight is on the side under the logo.

ThomasPowers: The indentation in that picture is shaped like this ">" with the open end pointing up around the 11'o clock position.

 

Also, after looking at the base carefully I think that letter "A" before the long string of numbers might actually be an "N" if so would that change who the maker might be?

[ThomasPowers]

No.

[EpyonX]

Alright, looks like I just barely have letter fragments that was hidden under the paint. Got the foot stamps cleaned up too so that long number string now reads: A 108151

Here's to hoping we can finally figure out the brand...

[ThomasPowers]

Still no picture of the base?

[EpyonX]

ThomasPowers: Here's the underside of the base if that's what you were referring to there were no markings that I noticed. There are no stampings on the heel side of the foot:

Classic Caplet indentation: Trenton and a few Arm & Hammer anvils  No stampings or other markings expected on the base just the shape of the indentation.
