hay budden anvil ~1920 345lbs~

Description

This 345lb hay budden anvil was made in Brooklyn N.Y in 1920. That year haybudden made there anvils out of a 2 piece construction (they only did it for a few years) The lower half from the middle of the waist down is made from wrought iron while the upper half from the middle of the waist up (including the horn) is completely made from hardened tool steel. Heard it was to compete with European cast steel anvils though I can say for a fact. Either way, what ever reasonings behind it, they ended up making their already good anvils even better. These are highly sought after anvils for collectors and are great for those who actually smith. Don’t have to worry about breaking the work face off or anything of the sorts.
