andgott Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 After cleaning several years worth of old paint off my 130 lb Arm & hammer anvil, I think I located a serial number stamped on the front foot... It reads 28590 Does anyone know if there is a reference to determine when this was made? It is an Arm & Hammer, with the 'impressed' logo, not the 'vulcan' with the raised logo.... There were a number of other interesting marks on there as well, Someone stamped an 'A' in a few sides of it, I presume to identify it. Luckily, that's my first initial Thanks! -Andrew Quote
Sask Mark Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 According to Anvils in America, your anvil was made around 1917-1918. Please post some pictures! Quote

andgott Posted February 7, 2009 Author Posted February 7, 2009 Andy I bet all that black paint was hard to remove! good buys though! Actually, it came right off with some chemical stripper- about 5 mins and it was down to bare metal. I'll get some pics tomorrow- Both the Arm & Hammer and the Mouse hole are two gorgeous hunks of metal (though my Fiance doesn't appreciate them as much as I do ) -Andrew Quote
Tenn Clif Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 Make sure you buy roses and chocolate for the 14th to gain a little respect for the anvils!!! Quote
