M3F Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 Hello from Buffalo, NY! This was my 1st anvil and it has served me well. I currently use a 306lb PW. I've studied AinA but am unsure if the hourglass base means 100% Trenton. There are absolutely zero visible markings. It's 152lbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHCC Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 To me, that looks like an Fisher. Do you have a photo of the other side? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JHCC Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 Interesting. No obvious sign of the F&N eagle, the FISHER name, or the weight marking on the foot having been chiseled or ground off, but it really does look Fisheresque to my eye. Let's see if IFI member njanvilman (our resident Fisher expert) weighs in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 What is the ring like? Best way to differentiate a Fisher on the fly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M3F Posted November 5, 2021 Author Share Posted November 5, 2021 (edited) It has a nice clear ring. Not ear piercing nor low and dull. I gather the hourglass is not Trenton exclusive then. Edited November 5, 2021 by M3F Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 Clear ring means definitely not a Fisher! Actually an hourglass is more a Hey Budden anvil indicator---except that for a fairly short amount of time Trentons had a deep hourglass before they went to the caplet indentation. Definitely check on the front of the front foot for numerical stampings! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
