Okay, thanks.

Okay here is another old anvil my dad has had laying around since the 60's. One time a guy told him it was made for packing on a mule or horse for traveling blacksmiths that went around to small towns that didn't have a full time blacksmith in them. I have no idea if that's true or not. Anyway it has nail holes all around the base to nail down to a stump. Any information would be appreciated.

After I posted the pictures of my horseshoe anvil I thought about a couple old anvils that my father has so I went and got some pictures of them this morning. I can't find any markings on this one. Any ideas on age, maker ect?

njanvilman, any idea on what the value would have been if it had been in very good condition?

Yes it does have the date. Sorry I forgot to include that.

Hi, I was wondering if this anvil is rare or not. I've done some searching on the web but haven't found one with a horseshoe on the side like this one. Is this worth having repaired or would I be better off sellling it to a collector (assuming its rare)? Oh, does anyone else believe that if they had put the horseshoe right side up that maybe the face wouldn't have come off? LOL Don't know what they were thinking there. Everyone knows that all the luck runs out when the horseshoe is upside down.
