ichudov Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 I estimate its length to be approximately 3 feet. Any idea who may have made it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highlander Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 looks a lot like a trenton to me, but others will be posting after me that may know better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sask Mark Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 (edited) That horn looks a little thicker than most Trentons that I have seen. That one almost looks like it's shaped by a Columbian to me. Of course I could be off my rocker and highlander could be right on the money. On second thought, I think I see a top plate, which a cast Columbian wouldn't have... Edited October 22, 2008 by Sask Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ichudov Posted October 22, 2008 Author Share Posted October 22, 2008 Looks a lot like a Columbian! But I think that al columbian anvils carry a letter C on it, whereas this one has a prominent letter "V". A puzzle by all means. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psilogen Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 I'll never understand why people paint anvils. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferrous Beuler Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 I'll never understand why people paint anvils. To hide things they don't want you to see, such as bondo, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveh Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 i was given an anvil that had been in a garden for 20 yrs.i was happy the lady had painted it.my new vaughan came painted a real nice blue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philip in china Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Psilogen, Last night we had 2" of rain. Today it is in the seventies. You can imagine how quickly an anvil rusts. So both mine are painted. The face is usually greased after use to prevent rust. If I am going to be away all summer I either grease or sometimes even paint the face. The humidity here in the summer rots everything. So THAT is why I paint anvils. I can't speak for anybody else. SteveH my Vaughans came in the same blue. All except for one patch they missed under the horn. Look on yours and see if that one needs a touch up as well. Fine anvils! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orgtwister Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 its looks like the trenton we had in school but that was a long time ago and i'm not a expert on this either and it looks like a tool plate welded on there as for my anvil its only about 30-40 years old it came painted green new from the factory when dad had bought it but it may been painted as it camr from sewden i think is what it says Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unkle spike Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 The museum I volunteer at has one similar in pattern only bigger, probably 475-500 lbs. It has a "30" in the place of your "376". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
