i did score a set of flat tongs about 15 inch long and a shorter set made to hold round items like ball bearing both for $8

from everything i have found out so far seems to point to pre 1901 trenton

its like that around me too

still working on getting some tongs and hammers i have been looking everywhere

its 100 lbs like a said i live in south western pa and the price of anvils are asinine

i paid $300 for it i have been looking for a long time for a decent anvil and i am in pennsylvania

thats all i could make out i did see usa lightly above the 1 i am just worried i paid too much for the anvil

it is stamped 1914 on the other foot oposite of the z it has an hour glass indentation on the bottom of anvil with a square hole in the anvil in the bottom and there are also two square hole s running in each end of the anvil it seems to be one piece steel anvil
