A forum for anvils -- is this a great country, or what?
I've been pounding steel for several years, but up to this point either on something homemade or borrowed. When my good borrowed anvil moved away recently, and I got tired of just making do with whatever mass I could find, I finally set out to find a proper anvil of my own and just this morning acquired the one pictured below. My understanding is that it's a Columbian, but more information with regard to age, interesting details, etc. would be appreciated. It's supposed to be 205 lbs., though I've not been able to verify that myself. I've highlighted the markings I found on the side as best I could.
