Today I put a sealer on the anvil to somewhat protect the effort I made to freshen the logo and to minimize rusting from use and the humidity here in Fl. Because I do believe she has a wrought iron base and and a sold steel half. Well while finishing up today in the good sunlight I confirmed that she is after 1914.
Or maybe she wants to keep her true age to herself! Before about 1914 they were wrought iron with a steel face, after that they had a wrought or mild base and a solid steel top half. QUOTE: The only other thing to check is if there is a weld around the waist.
In the other thread Alan asked about the SN and I was unable to to see it anymore! A come along was hung in the overhead while re-working her, a great asset in the lifting and turning her over and around while re-working everything. I know cause I no longer want to lift her. The anvil was officially weighed and she weighed in a 143lbs. I built a hammer and attachment hanger to fit the block! Recessed the all thread bolts, nuts and washers to get them out of the way! Well a little down time got me to looking at this ole anvil in a different light. First problem no where to hang hammers and secondly those all thread bolts have horned me more than once. Since I have had the anvil I have threatened many a time to do something with the stand. I mean after all I traveled close to 200 miles round trip to get her. She came with the block she sets on and has been used pretty much as she was purchased. This is pretty much how I bought this ole gal! Here is a link to the original post if you want to see what I am speaking of! After some discussion about my Hay Budden anvil back and forth with Alan I have some new info and some new pics!
