I wasn’t able to make any out. Perhaps if I clean it up a little I might be able to see better. I think ThomasPowers was correct when he said Trenton… it does look very similar to others I was looking at online. I’ll clean it up tomorrow and post any new marking I find. 
thanks! 

Thanks for the quick reply! Here are a few pictures of the bottom and a better close up of the markings on the anvils side.
 

Picked this up a while back at a flea market. Weighs 130lbs. Any ideas on who made it or how old it is? 

How long is that bar... what a beast

Thanks for the advice. I picked it up today. Managed to get it for $275.

I'd like to revisit this topic. Anyone aware of any yards in the Worcester MA area that let you pick scrap?

Let me explain, people from over 100 different countries participate on this site; cost of an anvil can vary quite a bit depending on what country you are in.  You didn't say and a number of different countries use $ besides the USA How are we supposed to tell where you are at to answer your question properly?  

As so many blacksmithing questions have a "location" factor to them: "Where can I find", "What is a good price", "How do I do this"---the location factor being "I'm just down the road, stop by and I'll show you how"; We generally suggest folks edit their profile to put in a general location.

So if you were in the USA and lived where I live now that would be an acceptable price; (though I would still offer $300 in cash). Where I used to live that would be high---and both places were in the USA!

Now you said it was online---what is your cost of picking it up or shipping it?  That *has* to be added to the cost to evaluate the deal----$400 + 2 day drive each way or $200 to ship changes the "price" a LOT and would put it over the line for me.

How do you tell if an anvil is a great deal online?  It's gone in *minutes*!

Ok, thanks for the clarification. I should of added my location to the post and my profile. Still figuring this forum out. I'm in Massachusetts, USA.

I have some free time tomorrow afternoon and will be headed out to see it then. Finding time is always the hard part. I was planing to offer $300 and go from there. Being brand new to the hobby I just wasn't sure if this was a good price or a quality anvil. They seem to be all over the place with the prices so it is hard for me to tell if I'm getting a good deal for my money. Fisher, from what I read online is a very common anvil.

Is that Hong Kong Dollars or Australian?

I'm not sure I understand? American dollars.

I'm just getting into the hobby. I found a 100Lb Fisher anvil with a $400 or best offer asking price online. Is this a good deal?
