Oldreid

Hello, new to blacksmith type work although i have a home machine and welding shop, i collect old engines, and have a Diamond T pickup i want to get on the road if I live long enough. I was given an old anvil. It has no pricheal hole and looks like colonial style anvils i see on this site and others. It is stamped BRADLEY with what appears to be FOSTER above that although i am only able to make out the O, maybe an E and the R.. Has an anchor mark below the Bradley. Has 1 0 20 stamped on the other side. 132 pounds i guess. Curious as to age and any history on Bradley. Were they connected to Foster. Thanks

Thanks.
