Hey why not have both? theres an idea I was thinking about getting another anvil at some point down the line, thought maybe it would be good to have a smaller one too

I think a hoist would be a good investment. It would certainly make life easier!

Thanks! yep, it isnt the easiest thing to move around the shop. I think I have found the perfect spot for it though, and will be putting it to more use

ah, will do! and thanks guys for the help, I spent many hours browsing the web trying to figure that out myself

good to know i feel i may have got myself a bargain then! im in the Shetland Islands Also yeah, no doubt that symbol is definitely the same. good stuff

Thanks, didnt expect such a quick response! It may say 1922 now that you say that, il have a closer look at the anvil tomorrow. So the anvil is from sweden?

Hi there people, great forum! I was wondering if anyone might be able to help me identify my anvil. I bought it afew years ago but have only gotten round to trying out blacksmithing recently, great fun It is 429 Lbs and seems to be in pretty good condition as far as I can see anyway. Here are some photos - There are numbers, a symbol and some letters stamped onto the side. I can make out the weight but cant see much of the writing, some of it is missing. The only letters I can make out are MORA which seem to be part of longer word. I drew a picture of the symbol and numbers/letters hope that helps Also there is my first pair of tongs room for improvement im sure
