It appears to be face welded as it has a definitive line about a 1/2" from the top. The bottom is somewhat concave and follows the lines of the feet. It has a square hole in the center of the bottom and a 1/2" edge around the base.

Thanks Judson!
There appears to be a slight crack underneath but not too deep. All I did to the anvil was wire brush some of the rust off. I was surpised by the condition of the anvil. I bought it from a young man who said it belonged to his dad's and great-uncle prior to his possession. I thought it was a pretty good find for my first anvil.
I am new to blacksmithing, and actually haven't started yet. I plan on taking a course in Nov. but wanted to start to collect my equipment.
Thanks again for the help. -
Thanks for the reply. I added some more pictures in hopes I can get the Mfg id'd. On the front base it has the numbers 157227. Above the waist it has a 2 on each side. It also has a 19 near the back on one side.
It measures almost 23" long and is 3 1/4" wide. The base is 9 1/4 by 8 1/4".
I bought it yesterday for $150. It has a flat top and clean edges. It appears as though it was used very little. I think it is cast iron with a welded steel face. It has a little ring near the tip of the horn and the back edge but not much anywhere else.
Thanks for the help! -

It has the serial # 157227 on the left side of the front. One side of the anvil has VVM Hora 1914. It does not say Hay Budden but I was told they manufactured under different names/logos.
Thanks!
