How much does it affect the use? Can I expect further separation of the face plate? How much would it drop value? Just throwing out rule of thumb figures but from 2.50 a pound to 1.50 or not much value at all?

I am sorry the pictures are so large.

I just found this anvil at a job I was working yesterday and was able to haul it off for free. It is a Hay Budden as you can tell, but I was wondering if this is indeed a broken top plate? I can't seem to get a serial number off of it so I was also wondering if there was some other way to find out the year it was manufactured? She has a great ring to her and weighs 190 pounds. Thanks for any help you can give.
