having trouble uploading pictures

Can you explain what the small square hole is under the beak of a Hay Budden 102 pound anvil? it is right above the base.
also is there a name for the round hole in the top near the hardy hole? thanks steve

thank you very much. I saw some 1919 and a little newer ones so i guessed 1920. Is the 102 the wieght? this is my first anvil. i use to have to pound on things on the trailer hitch of my truck. lol I got one hardy and the top isn't beat up or chipped at all. any idea the value here in the midwest? (south east wisconsin)

mine has an "A" before the number

that is great. are you sure? i was looking on line at other peoples serial numbers and was thinking it was newer.

Can any one tell me how old A Hay Budden is? the serial number is A22,749. it is stamped 1 0 2 under the name. is this the weight? how much do you pay for a real nice anvil?? steve
