got this anvil from some garage sale was covered in layers of thick paint finally got it off turns out its a trenton anvil the base has a bunch of numbers and this weird symbol no clue what it means one stamp says 150 guessing thats the weight seems about right and theres a T which i think means it was made by "doggie" taylor no clue about the rest thats why im here if anyone can help thatd be awesome im in the bay area btw
 
The “150” is almost certainly the weight in pounds and Trenton anvils often carry a serial number on the front foot under the horn that can date it to a specific production year. The “doggie taylor” mark you mentioned isn’t part of Trenton’s history. Can you describe the other weird symbol you found? Its location and style will help tell if it’s a foundry stamp or just an owner’s mark.
