Old trenton anvil serial numbers6/11/2023 ![]() If the serial number reads '13719' it would mean that this anvil was manufactured around 1911. Arm and Hammer only produced a little over 51,000 anvils, so the serial number as stamped cannot be correct. It appears to have a (smaller and lighter) extra number '0' in it that may have been an inspectors number. The serial number stamped on the front foot is interesting. T are the initials 'H.H.' Stamped on the anvil is a couple places, one by the weight stamp, the other one the feet. The trademark is the earliest trademark and reads: 'WARRANTED, (Arm holding a Hammer) SOLID, WROUGHT', and the weight stamp '139' is below the trademark. It has a forged wrought iron base, complete with handling holes. It DOES NOT has the customary Cast Steel base with an oval depression. It has a forged wrought iron top with a Tool Steel face plate. Made by Columbus Anvil and Forging Company of Columbus, Ohio., this Arm & Hammer features a clean face and edges that have only a few minor nicks. ![]() It has been said that Hay Budden is the Cadillac of anvils, but the Arm & Hammer anvils are truely the Rolls Royce of blacksmith anvils. Matchlessantiques is offering collectors and smiths the 'ROLLS ROYCE' of Blacksmith Anvils.
