UAT serial numbers


Recommended Posts

I am wondering if anyone has found any references for UAT 'Usines et Acieries Allard a Turnhout’ anvil serial numbers?

I’ve done the usual searches, including using the “site:iforgeiron.com” search and I’ve seen a number of references to UAT serial numbers but no actual results or any indication of what the serial numbers may indicate.

In  my case I have a 225kg (actually weighs in at 236kg) UAT that I’m interested in finding a little more about, if there is any more to be found about it.

The serial number is 5288

Any thoughts or snippets of information would be very much appreciated.

'A bit early to be able to tell you much yet Shore, I need to get it mounted on a decent base and move some metal on it before I could really say anything meaningful about it.

It seems to have quite good rebound (using a ball-bearing) throughout, even sitting on the makeshift trolly that it’s on at the moment, the surface and edges are still in nice condition and overall I’m pretty impressed with it so far.

I do have a log that I’ve started shaping for the base but my 450mm chainsaw bar is a bit shorter than the log is (was) round so I’m having to sneak up on it a bit. I hope to have that squared off and flattened both ends today so that I can mount the anvil and start working on it.
