I saw a video recently that talked about that anvil.  Based on the video, it's a Columbian SB, made in Sweden.  The SB is what is in that circle down below the waist.  The presenter of the video said it was an exceptional anvil.  Looks as if it's got a good top and is in really good condition.  Seems to me you grabbed the brass ring on your first try.  Lucky Bugger!

Thanks for the info. By chance do you have a link to that video?

Welcome to IFI, have you read this yet? READ THIS FIRST  Your Colombian looks like a good one. Have you read about not doing any grinding, milling or welding on the hardened face?

I have not but I will. Thank you. All I have done was wire wheel it. Was pretty dirty when I got it. 

Hi I’m new to this blacksmith and new to this forum. This is my first real anvil anvil and I’m just curious about what exactly it is. I know is a Columbian and it’s 75lbs. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
