A brief look at 3 Trenton anvils and the history of Columbus Forge and Iron Company that made them.
If you'd like to learn more and how to date your CFI / Trenton Anvil check out my Trenton Anvils page.

I've also started collecting examples of Trenton Anvils in a registry here: www.watersironworks.com/trent...
If you have a Trenton anvil or a CFI produced anvil with another companies branding please consider sending me some photos of the anvil so I can add it to the registry.
Trenton produced anvils under the brands: Acme, Ajax, ATC, Black Prince, Buel Patent, CFI, Cole, Derby, Indian Chief, Lakeside, Phoenix, Reliable, Roberts, Village Forge, Vulcan, and likely others.

Great video! I’m currently researching my GG Grandfather’s anvil which I’m pretty sure is a Trenton. It has some unique characteristics that I’ve only seen on a few other Trenton’s,hence why I’m learning towards it being a Trenton. Also,my Family is from and is still in Ohio,so that’s an added little bonus to. Great video! Thank you for sharing.

Thanks. It's been a lot of fun learning about the history of the different brands. I'll probably continue the reviews based on what anvils I can find to show off. The guy who owns the postman anvil collection is only about 3 gours away. I wonder if I could swing a tour with him.

Great info. I sent you an email a week or so ago on a Trenton anvil I have that I believe was produced in 1899, I got it from Bar Harbor Maine. I had some questions on cleaning, wire brushing it. When you get a chance, if you would check it out, I sent a bunch of photos, and let me know what you think, it would be appreciated. Thanks Tim

Nice. I almost regret getting rid of my ACME, but it was pretty beat up.

Thanks! They are cool anvils, but you definitely want something you can forge with, not just a conversation piece.

How many roadrunners did that anvil nail!

Very interesting video! I wonder if the military just needed a counter weight for their bombers... and that was the fastest way to get it in war times? Sorry about the delay in getting you pictures of my Lakeside - I'll try to get to it as soon as I can!

I asked around on some WW2 groups, and counter weight was a popular guess. The other big guess was to have a spot for percussive maintenance if something on the plane broke.

@@WatersIronworks that makes sense too since they were up there for hours sometimes! Thanks for all your research.

Acme Anvil from the Rio Grande area? Any relation to the Coyote? I mean they could have found it after the unfortunate roadrunner incident...

I disagree I've seen plenty of haybuddens that split at the waist.

@WatersIronworks Жыл бұрын

Got any photos? The info about only Trentons doing that is from Richard Postman and Anvils In America.

@WatersIronworks I have one that split at the waste and I've seen more of them online. I've seen at least 20. I can send photos to the one I have just tell me where to send it.
