I joined this just to comment on this thread. I don't know if the information interests you any more, but my dad has a Hoover anvil. He is the original owner and got it new in 1964 while in the farrier course at Cal Poly San Luis. His has the same "Hoover" and diamond S logo as yours. Ralph Hoover did design the anvil and there were only about 70 of them ever made and it was by Southern Steel to my dad's recollection. The same anvil design was later used with the G.E. logo as Ralph bought George Ernest's G.E. Forge and Tool and moved the company from Klamath Falls, OR to Arroyo Grande, CA just south of San Luis Obispo. I hope that helps!
