The anvil weighs a lot more than 42 lbs. Don't have a scale but it's a good grunt to lift it.  Tried to get a rub from the letters but it's so marked up that the rub doesn't show very good.  Will post what I did get and also what I saw using a magnifying glass.

One other thing is the shape that looks like an arrow between the letters and the 42. Any ideas on that?

I live in Alberta Canada. I have been given 3 different old anvils and the only one that rings like steel is the one I've pictured. I will see if I can get a rub of the letters. And the 42 is is the correct way up and the letters are inverted. Thanks so much for the interest. I was thinking of cleaning the anvil up a bit but thought I should find out what I can before I potentially wreck something good.

Recently I was given this old anvil. I don't know anything about it except it looks like about 5 pieces of steel, forge welded together. I hope these pictures can be seen and hope someone can tell me a little about where it was originating from. I just wire wheeled it a bit to show the markings.

Thanks in advance.
