Ethan Powell Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 Hello all! I hope this is the right place to ask a question such as this, but I was just curious as to how old an anvil I've recently acquired is. I don't have any photos at the moment, but it's a Trenton anvil, weighs 125 pounds (and is inscribed with such), and has a serial number (or at least, what I'm assuming is the serial number) of 127313. Does anyone have any idea when an anvil with such a serial number was made? Thank you so much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Longmire Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 According to the book, it was made around 1914. It's a three-piece anvil: Cast mild steel base, forged mild steel body and horn, and high carbon steel face, all forge-welded together. Trentons are generally very good anvils. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
