Wow Mc hammer your right, mine does look almost exactly like the moses anvil thay someone sold for $4000 in australia, which is supposed to be like the oldest one in America or something. I don't think I'll use her. I'm about to go and try cleaning her up now. I'll post a few more pics before and then after ao everyone can get a closer look at it. I'm really excited to have this. My wife found out and wants to sell it but I don't think I could ever let go of something like this. It's just too old and to me it's just about priceless.
I meant to put in there that thays what I popped up when I searched Rochester historical society anvil too.
Yea Ibe got a 98# I'm going to look at this weekend for my beginner anvil thomas.
