andgott Posted February 7, 2009 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sask Mark Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 According to Anvils in America, your anvil was made around 1917-1918. Please post some pictures! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andgott Posted February 7, 2009 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenn Clif Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Make sure you buy roses and chocolate for the 14th to gain a little respect for the anvils!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
