Thank you sir!  

If I had boat, I could, lol.  Thanks for the help gentlemen.  I would hardly call myself a smith as I don't think I have earned it.

For educational purposes, will cast iron shine like this?  I used an 80 grit flap wheel on it.

I appoligize for my foul mouth.  I'm not one for pink, but I was thinking of letting my 4 year old paint princesses on it.  Maybe a "let it go theme."  I like my rr track, but I used a nice big anvil a few months ago and fell in love.  By no means am I girly, but I got to play with a Mercedes and ditched my long lived love of Ford trucks.  Ok, maybe that was a bad annology   My grandmother always said "patience is a virtue" and I definitely strayed from those words of wisdom.  

I'm going to play the chick card, which I don't like doing.  Everyday I learn something new and that was my lesson yesterday.  

Well xxxx, lol.  My mom should have let me take shop instead of computers .  The face looked like steel and the base is welded to a stand.  At the very least I have something with a hardie hole.

Good morning ladies and gentlemen!  I picked up this anvil last night for $25 and I don't know much about it.  I do know it will be and upgrade from the rr track I'm using.  I didn't test the rebound as I don't have a ball bearing or small ball pein, plus I think the stand doesn't help.  Any info would be greatly appreciated, as I'm a noob.

Nice find!

Jaws are 4", technically 4 1/8", and the overall length is 42".

LOL, you mean I have to pay shipping too?  

I got them out.  I hope these pics help.

Thank you JHCC!  As for the screw and box, I don't know for sure.  I'm afraid to pull it apart as the box does not seem to move, but the screw looks like it's in good operable condition.  I'm going outside to try and clean it up a bit.  

I was wondering if anyone could help identify this vice.  I picked it up at a local flea market for $20 and the markings are hard to read. It has the number 40 on it, which I assume is the size.  From what I can make out, above the 40 and on the lower back side of the jaws is June 1866.  I like to research and know the history of my equipment. I appreciate all your help in advance.
