I'm here to see if you guys might take a chance at guessing the ID of this anvil. It potentially being my first anvil.. Sorry I have nothing else to help, its in another state and am hoping its worth the gas to pick up. <img> -Elijah Elijah Newton (Ebnewt) New member Username: Ebnewt Post Number: 2 Registered: 5-2010 Posted on Monday, May 03, 2010 - 4:39 am:    I guess the insert didn't work...

Who much does this anvil weight?

The anvil is now in my hands and its turns out there is a upside down triangle with a C inside on the other face making it a Columbian Hardware company? It weighs about 128 lbs. I also have another anvil with the serial 27270 on the right side of the foot with a hourglass depression on the bottom. It has two pritchel holes and an upsetting bulge on the horn. I believe it to be a trenton but I'm not 100% sure, its quite a bit more worn. any ideas on date? Its around 116 lbs.

Facing it or from the back, horn to front?

There is the picture of the numbers. On second thought it might be a Hay Budden... Here is the hourglass impression photo http://lh4.ggpht.com/_vYhVefu0NqA/TASfQr5VBsI/AAAAAAAABFo/wI_mHNQPlns/EN311058.JPG Ken Scharabok (Ken_scharabok) New member Username: Ken_scharabok Post Number: 425 Registered: 3-2006 Posted on Tuesday, June 08, 2010 - 5:00 pm:    Z followed by weight on one side, weight on the others, almost surely a Treanton made anvil.
