I could use some help identifying an anvil I acquired. My own digging around online makes me think this is either a Mousehole or William Foster anvil. It was heavily rusted, and at first I made out no distinguising marks. After trying to clean the face with a flap disc on my right angle grinder, and then cleaning the sides with a 3M bristle scotchbrite wheel, I was able to discern at minimum a "25" mark on the right side of the waist, and what looks like a "1" on the left. The center is a little too hard to make out still, but there appear to be dots separating the numbers.
If I squint I think I see "1851" very faintly about 1" above the weight/dots.
To my uneducated eye there also seems to be weld lines which indicate that the front and rear feet were welded onto a central core.
