NEED YOUR HELP FINDING OUT THE HISTORY OF THIS ANVIL!

- As I've started playing a bit with Blacksmithing, I've gotten curious about some of the tools like this one, but this particular Anvil has no branding on it. I would like to know who made it, its history and how old it is. So, I wonder if some of you Blacksmithers out there could give a hand here! TIA

Several vids on anvils on line.
Headed to the auction yard to see about a small lathe. They always have anvils of various weights and lineages on hand.
Hey Chris, nice anvil! Looks like either a Peter Wright or a German Trenton based on the steps on the feet, a Hay Budden wouldn't be marked in hundred weight. Are there any indentations on the bottom?
Hey Beni! There is a single tapered square hole about 3 inches deep. Same as the holes in the front and back of the feet.
Do you still have Big Blue?
@@TigermothRacingTV I still have and use the blue anvil but I don't know if it deserves the monikor big compared to yours. I'm currently working on a 360 degree rotating locking stand for my Hay Budden.
Very cool. I would love to see your stand design. In my mind your blue anvil is giant, I was not into blacksmithing at all back then so didn't know what I was looking at. I have not started my stand ideas yet. It has been living on a furniture dolly for several years now. Usable but not great.
The youtube spam bots keep flagging my link so I'll sent you a picture of it instagram.
My workspace is right up against a wall so it's useful to be able to turn the anvil to access different sides. I already have the big heavy wall tube, it's just a matter of finding a way to make a nice smooth bend for the receiver. I might end up cobbling together a slip roller for it.
If you're just looking to get up and running, a screwed together 4x4 artificial stump is just about as good as any other stand design.
