    Very good analogy! Helps make my decision to throw it up on Craigslist as a lawn ornament or something someone else can pay to repair much easier.

    Good to know! I'm new to the forum and smithing as a whole, so I appreciate the ABANA affiliate advice! Based on convos with various folks around me before purchasing this, I was lead to believe if it was ground down to just the wrought iron it could still be used for some light work - is that "fake news"?

    Thank you, I believe I have fixed it!

    Was reasonable enough that I didn't mind having a 200 lb paperweight

    You betcha! For the price, it was worth the potential that it was salvage-able. Seemed like a worthwhile cause at the time; seeing it in daylight has me wondering if it's worth/capable of being fixed now. Definitely ground down - was hoping the remaining steel was enough to salvage it. Tested when picked up - got a good 80% rebound on "most" of anvil (where plate remained). Significantly less when the ball was dropped on the few wrought iron pieces showing through.

    I recently purchased this 209 pound anvil and (Has 1 3 13 markings on it, though they are fading) looking to hopefully ID a maker? I tried to clean it up, but still didn't see anything that could be clearly defined as a maker's mark. Also can't see the underside without un-mounting it (which I plan to do because the angle steel used to mount it doesn't provide a solid mounting option), but I'm hoping the flat-top helps make a positive ID. Thoughts?
