Need help identifying an anvil

Chaise Auten replied to Chaise Auten's topic in Anvils, Swage Blocks, and Mandrels

Thanks for the help. I feel pretty confident it is a Norrisez based on what you all have posted. I'm new to the craft this is my first anvil purchase. I purchased it with the intent of knocking the rust off with a wire wheel and just oiling it down before I use it. Any ideas on age? or value? I picked it up for $250 which seemed to be going rate in my area. Any other recommendations on care or maintenance of her? i also updated my location.

So I picked up this anvil that has "Norris" stamped on one side and what appears to be English stones stamped on the opposite indicating it is 114 lbs (1.0.2). I thought it must be a fisher Norris but no eagle and no "fisher". From what I have read fisher also doesn't use the old English weight system.
