I have been on the lookout for my first anvil for several months, my budget was small and tonight I saw this one cheap, and I snapped it up. I am now starting to think I have made a mistake. I have no idea what it is, weight, manufacturer etc, the only marking I can find under the green/rust is a stamp of "1/3 1906." The top is dipped/caved in a little.
Top plate is 38cm x 12.5cm.
Heel to horn point - 63cm
Height - 26cm
Heel thickness - 1.5cm
Does anyone have any opinions on if I should have it repaired/flattened, or just try to use it.
I am assuming manufacturer identification will be impossible, and I dont think it matters to me. Just need some advice.
I am in Denmark, Europe.

Thank you for your thoughts and advice.
I have given it a clean up and a light oil to satiate the rust. I am more happy about it every day and will sort a nice "new" log for it and start to work on it. I have a piece of flat plate that I have been using and I will continue to use that for flattening.
