I started cleaning on it today, and I think there is a number or numbers on the front under the horn, I'll check and make sure tomorrow, I'm going to head for the woods tomorrow and get me a big ol stump to mount it on. I am grateful for all of your help. I haven't had much time this past week. I left out last saturday and had a busy week, Just got home this morning.

It might just be me, or my computer, but I couldn't get your slideshow to work........nice looking anvil though.

Just my suggestions but, use a chainsaw or whatever to hollow out the bottom of the stump except for a 3 inch ring around the outside. That way it will almost always set level because of no high spot in the middle to rock on. Also when you fasten the anvil down, move it close to one side so you can stand close to it for some work, it makes it lots easier on your back and you can lay tools on the off side of the anvil on the wide part of the stump.

I don't know why it ain't working for you, I clicked " Left" on it and it opened right up. Maybe your popup blocker is preventing it from working.?

Thanks for the advice, I'll put it to use when I get in, I'm up here in Michigan and hope to be on my way home to night...
