Extremely nice looking anvil.  Appears that Grandpa rarely used it, if at all.  Wire brush that baby clean, remove the hardy cut off tool, heat some metal and get to smithing.  If you are really new you might want to practice your hammer control on the section of rail for a while so you don't mark up that pristine anvil.

The top is in pretty nice shape, My grandpa says they had a cover or something for it back in the old days. It's long gone. I gotta build my forge before I can start heating stuff! My burner is almost finished so I shouldn't be too long though.

I'm just setting up something at my new house, this is an anvil I got from my grandfather, no identifying markings, but It's also filthy and I don't know where to look
