ASMEsecIX Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 New user here, always enjoyed making things from metal. First off i am impressed on the generosity of information found here.... very nice. So, with the purchase of a new house and 40X60 shop i decided it was time to add to the welding equipment and scored my first anvil. Overheard a fellow at breakfest after church the other day selling what he had (reasoning left anonomyous but it rhymes with the other 1/2..... sorry for his luck). Anyway just looking for some info and add to the list of others. It is a Hay Budden, serial # 191931 with 170 stamped under the name. I will more than happliy post a picture if someone could guide me in the right direction... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CleetisMorgan Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 The top one is my newest anvil--a 118 lb HB. I wish I could read the sn, but the years have worn it away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rustyanchor Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Mine is a 1919 150lb H Hudson Tool Co S/N A17717. Years ago some knuckle head used the edges to rest his steel on to torch cut it. "Mr Hudson" is a bit rough around some of his edges but is still a tough old fellow, ring and rebound are fine.
