I would recommend you coat the front face of the front foot with soapstone or flour and look harder for a serial number. You can see on the heel of your anvil, as on mine, some pretty large fuller marks from them drawing down the shape. Thereof, how can you tell a Trenton anvil? Now a more common price is between $3 and $6 per pound for a quality anvil.
Subsequently, question is, how much are old anvils worth? You used to be able to buy an anvil for $1 or $2 per pound, but those days are largely gone. These firms were Hay-Budden of Brooklyn, New York, and Forge & Iron of Columbus, Ohio, who made the Trenton. Soon after, in the U.S., two firms started making anvils, further streamlining the process used by Peter Wright.
