[TheForge] new anvil id

[Larry Brown]

Some of the people from Hay Budden in Brooklyn, NY went down the block and 
started making American Anvils, Name in an oval.
I have one about  #250 and couldn't figure out what it was till I saw the 
last two letters and the edge of the oval and guys on this group helped ID it
Thought it was a HB for years from its size, no #s on it or my HB that you 
can read the name on some what
