Picked this up at a farm museum auction last friday. Liked the look and loved the price as any anvils in this area are overpriced. Got it home and after working with a wire brush, found some letters, weight and ser #. After looking in AIA, I think its a MouseHole, prior to 1880 going by ser #. Now its time for some more informed input. Thanks
