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

Wow thats a really cool shaped anvil. looks older my trenton was made around 1915.

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.

That larger anvil may be a JB.

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

Sask Mark thank you very much.

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

By JB you mean John Brooks?
Were can i find infomation about them?
Whats the differents between Vaughan Brooks and John Brooks?

later production and the 70 is weight in lbs.

Trentons were made in Columbus Ohio, USA.
