FTK Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Hi Today i picked up this anvil. I live the Netherlands and I haven't ever seen a Trenton here. The number on the foot is 70 225117. It's face is in very good condition. Can someone tell me when and were it was made. Thanks In the pic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sask Mark Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 The serial number 225117 was made between March 1952 and June 1953. Actually, 225551 is the last serial number listed in Anvils of America, so yours might be one of the last Trentons ever produced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imagedude Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 That larger anvil may be a JB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremy k Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 To me, it does not look like an "N" in the middle of the marking. - In the book Anvils in American - a mention of "REXTON" is a possible English manufacturer or trademark. To me it looks more like Rexton. -JK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeremy k Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 I spoke to soon - In the later 1930's the "N" in Trenton was changed to an "X" - I didn't read far enough - sorry - JK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
