Thank you for your replies! With the chips in the edge of the face on both sides I wondered if it was considered lightly or heavily worn. There's a 75 or 90# anvil that I haven't seen in years waiting to be picked up. I'll probably post in the show me your anvil thread. For now, I need to learn how to use this beauty without hurting it.

My grandfather gave this anvil to me when I was about 13 years old. When I was a youger kid I was fascinated by the blacksmithing equipment in his garage that his father had used in his work. My two uncles were not interested in these heirlooms and neither were their sons so grandpa promised the blacksmithing tools to me. He died just last wednesday and my interest has been stirred about the history and what I have for an anvil at least. I would like to know what you all think about the condition and although it is not and never will be for sale, what the approximate value might be. Here are some photos taken with my phone camera:
