I've also started collecting examples of Trenton Anvils in a registry here: https://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.
