Thanks for your replies gents.
My location is Edmonton Alberta Canada.
I have talked with the longest serving employee here, who has just retired after 47 years. He told me that the anvil was left on the current site after the demolition of a large working blacksmith shop around 1947 or so. I'm familiar with the rebound and ring of a good anvil, so I took my trusty ball pein hammer and was treated to a resounding ring and at least an 80% rebound.
Hi Frosty. No Sorry not the same Lindsay that you recall from your blacksmithing lessons.
This Anvil has a nice ring and at least 80% rebound.
