Here are some pictures of my new anvil. Another S&H, dated 1920 and weight of 276kg (=608lbs).
Above the S&H round stamp, there are the words 'GEBROEDERS POLAK'. That's dutch for 'Brothers Polak'. After some research, I found out there were Jewish merchants who had a tools and hardware shop in Vlissingen (the Netherlands) from 1879 untill 1942. It's nice to know a little history about the anvil.

The eselsrucken is the block on the side of the base, yes? We call that an "Upsetting block."
The upsetting block is a nice feature of this anvil, but the 'Eselsrucken' is a german word for arch. If u look carefully, the arch starts just before the round horn. The hardy hole doesn't sit flat. If u mount a tool in the hardy hole, it doesn't point straight up, because the hardy hole is inside this arching of the round horn. I hope I explained it a little bit better now.

Söding und Halbach S&H Anvils
in Anvil Reviews by brand

Are there any anvils left from the 1860s? Does anyone has one, or even saw pictures of one? I found this anvil today. It is not as old as 1860, but it comes close...
The markings have faded a little bit, but it seems clear enough to see it is a Söding&Halbach from 1879. Weight is 165kg. Now I am curious to see if there are more early S&H anvils left.
