Maybe a delta tfs double horn?

Default Anvil & Stand
200kg anvil. Stand is made of 3/8" plate and 1/4"-wall 12" pipe. I don't have to bolt it to the floor or fill the stand with sand (it does have a bottom and it can be done.) Has a piece of 1/2" hard rubber between the anvil and stand.

Default Kirkstall Forge
My primary anvil is my great-grandfathers Kirkstall Forge 150 pounder. Apparently alot of these were shipped into Canada and managed to filter down this way. I believe that mine was shipped from a dealer in Chicago. She's a little sway backed and a little battered, but refuses to give up

This is a shot of my shop showing my drum set. Starting off.. my primary anvil (the grey one in the middle) which is a 64 KG cast tool steel english anvil with a 1 1/4 hardy on a 5" by 3" legged tripod base that weighed in at 260 pounds after I filled it with 120 pounds of sand and topped with a 1/2' layer of lead between the anvil and base in order to kill the ring. in the foreground is my demo anvil, a + or-130 pound fulton on a simple, easy to transport stump. And last but not least is my 180 pound trenton wrought anvil in the background.
I also included some left overs, and an anvil's eye view of the shop just for fun!!
