VandegriftIronworks Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 I picked up this little hay Budden quite a while ago and have absolutely no use for it in my shop, already having a couple 125lbers. It’s in pretty good shape with some minor edge chipping and a small chip out of the horn. many idea on the value of this little guy? I can’t find ANYTHING similar in weight for sale. I can take more pictures when I get to my shop this evening. Thanks guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWISTEDWILLOW Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 No idea on what your local value is but that’d make a awsome little travel anvil! if you find out what you want for it lemme know! I might be interested! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VandegriftIronworks Posted June 25, 2022 Author Share Posted June 25, 2022 Also I’ve been looking to downsize to buy my dream anvil, a 250lb Fontanini. They are just beautiful and I feel Steve won’t be making them for much longer. Twisted, yeah I’ll have to let you know. That’s why I kept it for so long, figured it’d be a good starting anvil for kids too. However I need to make room for a big guy in the shop, and if selling some of my anvils off can fund the fontanini the kids may have to figure it out themselves :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njanvilman Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 Also interested in the HB anvil. You can contact me here or PM. Is there a serial number on the front left base? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VandegriftIronworks Posted June 25, 2022 Author Share Posted June 25, 2022 Hey NJ, yes there is, when I get off work in about 3-4 hours I can share it here. My goofy self forgot to take more pictures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VandegriftIronworks Posted June 25, 2022 Author Share Posted June 25, 2022 Okay, I’ve breathed into a lot of coal gas it seems. This is what I guess to be a 1922 Hay Budden that weighs 51 pounds. Have no clue why the brain said 1924 and 66lb. I’ll add some photos below The serial number is hard to make out, but from my best guess it says 86868 which would date it 1903. Far too confusing for my brain. Didn’t have a coffee today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWISTEDWILLOW Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 Looks pretty good to me! How’s the ring an rebound? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VandegriftIronworks Posted June 25, 2022 Author Share Posted June 25, 2022 Don’t have a ball bearing to check rebound but she’s definitely alive. Rings like a bell. Here’s a video IMG_4506.MOV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
