Pretty specific.  Good info, thanks!

Thanks for the replies. I got around to updating my profile.  I live in NW Arkansas.  Nice area to look for old stuff.  I have a feeling this anvil came from Texas some time ago.

My wife and I go to lots of sales and auctions (mostly her, me when I can).  She's gotten really good at spotting things I would go after.  We've seen many anvils over the years but the prices beat us out.  She was the first one in the shop at a sale last week.  She pounced on the anvil and two vises before the men had a chance to get in the door.  At $10 for the anvil, I'm good with that.

Regards

Hello,

New here, so please go easy ;-) 

Picked up this 36 Lb. anvil at an estate sale.  Could have been the old gentleman's or his father's from the way the sale was advertised.

I gave it a gentle cleaning just looking for marks.  All I've found is the number 4 and remnants of green paint.  Would be interested in comments on the anvil as well as any thoughts to age or maker.

Thanks!
