Matchlessantiques is offering collectors and smiths the "ROLLS ROYCE" of Blacksmith Anvils. It's a RARE 139 lb. Arm & Hammer FARRIERS Blacksmith Anvil. 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. 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 a forged wrought iron top with a Tool Steel face plate. It DOES NOT has the customary Cast Steel base with an oval depression. It has a forged wrought iron base, complete with handling holes. The trademark is the earliest trademark and reads: "WARRANTED, (Arm holding a Hammer) SOLID, WROUGHT", and the weight stamp "139" is below the trademark. 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 serial number stamped on the front foot is interesting. It appears to have a (smaller and lighter) extra number "0" in it that may have been an inspectors number. Arm and Hammer only produced a little over 51,000 anvils, so the serial number as stamped cannot be correct. If the serial number reads "13719" it would mean that this anvil was manufactured around 1911. Pictures say a thousand words, so take a real close look at the pictures. Columbus read more
