George N. M. Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 Welcome aboard from 7500' in SE Wyoming. Glad to have you. It's tough to identify an anvil with no markings but sometimes the shape or profile can help. So, photos without the electrical cable draped over the anvil might help with the ID. That said, it may be, at best, an educated guess. If you are able to tip it back to see if it has a flat base or if there is a depression in the base that would narrow it down somewhat. And yes, it is a big 'un. My swag estimate is 400+ pounds. "By hammer and hand all arts do stand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomasPowers Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 Note LOCATION plays a part too. If you are looking at used cars in the USA, you might give more thought to the large American Automakers. If you are looking in Russia; concentrate on Russian and East German auto brands...

Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 Welcome from the Ozark mountains. Another thing to look for is numbers on the front of the feet under the horn. A wire wheel on an angle grinder sometimes clean up the anvil enough to show remnants of a manufacture logo on the sides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 Hay Budden was an anvil manufacturer in Brooklyn NY, check the front foot (under the horn) for numbers and their location as weight and serial number were often stamped there and location and number can sometimes indicate source.
