Scored this Trenton "German forged" anvil today at a yard sale for $40. Just curious on dating/forger info if anyone knows...and why does it have that weird shoehorn looking stub coming off the horn? What was its use?!
The bottom is flat(ish) with only a handling hole, and there are no serial numbers to be found so far
Trenton 165# German forged....but weird shape!!!!
