Bonney Forge produces forged steel gate, globe and check valves for high-pressure and small-bore service, along with forged fittings and branch connections. The valves are standard in utility stations, instrument piping and high-pressure drains.
Surplus is almost always boxed new old stock or lightly used stock from plant stores. Because the items are small, quantity and part numbers drive value.

Seller guides
Bonney Forge equipment, in detail
What we look at
Reviewing Bonney Forge equipment
Count by size and material
A simple table of size, material and quantity is more useful than a narrative.
End protection
Caps on the weld ends. Missing caps mean possible damage.
Markings
Body stampings identify material and class. Box labels identify the part number.
A detailed, accurate list is more useful than a generic brand mention. If you can tell us the model, the size, the class and what is attached, the review is straightforward. If you cannot, photographs of the nameplates will get us most of the way.
What to preserve
Before anything is disconnected
Keep the assembly together, keep the tag on the valve, and photograph the nameplates before anything is separated. Most of the value lost on branded equipment is lost in the ten minutes after removal, not in the years before it.
Questions sellers ask
Do you buy used Bonney Forge equipment?
Yes. We buy Bonney Forge equipment as surplus, in single lots or as part of a whole crib. We buy it as equipment, not as scrap, and we make no claim about its fitness for future service.
Is Bonney Forge surplus worth more than unbranded equipment?
Often yes, because the brand tells a buyer what the specification is and where parts come from. The premium depends on the model, the condition and the documentation.
What if the nameplate is missing?
Send photographs of the body and any cast markings. Brand and model can often be established from the shape and the marking, though the price reflects the uncertainty.
