When I get the bugs worked out, I'll probably look at removing the heavy gauge sheetmetal hearth and putting on the brakedrum I got from a semi at the junkyard. I am going to find time to work on it later this week (I need a break from the insanity) and hope to fire it up again this weekend. I bet this anvil would.īefore I could try any more clay modifications, we got a few days of rain (I don't have a hood and flue yet, so I work outside), then I suddenly had to redo some of the plumbing in my parents house (I'm still trying to finish the plumbing in my house), then work picked up. Made by trenton for sears and roebuck has 100 lb stamp and serial number, dates it to 1908. UPDATE after wire wheeling it, acme trenton on side trenton in a diamond shape.

Trenton anvil serial number Trenton anvil serial number I favor the fist level anvil height myself.

It has the diamond with Trenton in it but also has a Buel Patent mark wi.

Can someone tell me the date of my Trenton anvil Its serial number is A11076.

They can be faint and hard to make out at times, a wire brush might help with visibility.

If you would like to add your information to the efforts of revealing more Trenton and Arm & Hammer anvil history, please take a closeup picture of the side logo stamp and of the serial number on the front foot under the horn.

It's $2.96/lb which I don't think is horrendous, but I also don't know enough to say if it's good. I'm still new in the blacksmith world and haven't had an anvil to use yet (just railroad track) and would appreciate some of your opinions.

I found a '135lb Trenton Anvil' on craigslist in my area and am not sure if it's a good find or not.

>It has a very thick heel and 1 1/4 in hardee hole. >It is marked England on one side and 77 kg on the other. I've got a pile of leftover bricks (including some firebrick), so I probably need to get a book on building a small cupola (next year - the forge and anvil will definitely use up most of my free time until we get some clear weather in the spring).:) Paul Stevens william thomas powers 00:00.>(what the heck as long as it works) >I bought an anvil new in about 1971. Then I can redo my clay modifications in steel, make some stronger legs. I'll lose an inch or so in diameter, but double the depth of the hearth. Before I could try any more clay modifications, we got a few days of rain (I don't have a hood and flue yet, so I work outside), then I suddenly had to redo some of the plumbing in my parents house (I'm still trying to finish the plumbing in my house), then work picked up.
