My father apparently has had an anvil for years, and never bothered to tell me until after I bought one of my own. It is solid steel as far as I can tell. When I told him to hit it with a hammer to test the ring, I forgot to mention to do so lightly. My ears are still ringing. Anyway... The face could use a little cleaning up, but the sides and legs are so pitted with rust there are very few markings that are still discernible. There is a very obvious "1 2" on the side (date of manufacturing?), and to the left there are two star shapes about the size of a nickle and about an inch and a half apart, sort of like an asterick (I believe they are 8 pointed). The last mark is a large "0" to the left of the stars. The anvil looks very old. Is this anvil identifiable? It appears to be about 70 lbs, give or take. If any more info is needed let me know, however I can't post pics right now. Sorry.
