Thanks for the information. I will do a video test of a ball bearing and post it in this thread. I dropped a hammer on the face and this small anvil and it had a nice bounce. Gave me pause with regard to the apparent cast iron casting.... surprised it may have lasted this long. thanks ... I have spent more than a week looking for a post or image similar to the profile of this anvil to no avail. It may mean they've all bit the dust because it is a "bad casting". I've posted because any information will help to understand the culture of anvil creation. (bad or good)

A pretty 70 lbs anvil with absolutely no markings. Bought in RI from a woman who states it was her father"s. The underside shows a slight cavity of the pour. The waist looks like a weld. It has been painted several times. Does anyone know who might have made it. The bottom line of the horn is unusual and straight.
