Looks similar to mine so 1820-1835 if I remember correctly.  I don't have the Mouse Hole book handy.

I never noticed an 8 on mine.  I will have to check.

Here are my M&H Armitage Mouse Hole anvils.  The larger is 120 lbs and was given to me by a guy who dug it up when he was digging a foundation for a house.  The smaller is 60 lbs I purchased recently.

Two questions:

1) If I were to collect M&H Armitage anvils from 1820-1835, what other sizes are there?

2) Did the smaller anvils have a steel plate on top too?  I can't tell like I can on the 120 lbs. 

Thanks
