Well I paid 170$ for it, I guess it might have been too much.  Then again, until now I haven't seen an anvil around here that the owner would take less than 350$ for.  It will be a step up from the railroad track.  Thanks for ya'lls input.

Thanks for the info and advice Frosty.  Here's a couple photos of the heel.  Let me know if there's a better way to take the photo.  A hard life indeed.

I picked up this anvil from a flea market.  It has a broken heel at the pritchel hole, but hardy hold is intact.  Hardy hole is 3/4".  The horn is broken.  I can't identify or read most of the markings, but I know very little about anvils.  I believe the 10 on the front just means it is a 100# anvil?  Can anyone tell any information about this anvil? what type of construction and material? if it's just cheap junk? I have not done the ball bearing test.  My location is near Greensboro, NC.  Thank you!
