Hi all, this anvil is coming up at a local auction soon. I have not been able to find out much information about the brand, am hoping someone might recognise the brand? The only info I have currently is that this anvil was imported to Australia from Indonesia. Seeing as there is a long history of dutch presence/colonisation in Indonesia, it seems reasonable to assume it is indeed a Dutch import and may be quite old. The brand does match a trading company that had considerable presence in Indonesia.
It is obviously cast, I am interested in figuring out if it is cast steel or cast iron. I have not had the opportunity to do a proper rebound test. It is hard to tell from the photos, it is a very large anvil, the other anvil in the background is a 2 cwt anvil.
I really appreciate any info or advice you may have.
