No handling holes under the heel?

How is the rebound?

Very interesting.  Base looks like late 19th to mid 20th c American maker anvil.  But the big step from face to horn and thick heel indicates aftermarket modification, but that modification is old and worn to the degree that the face shows sway.  The seam looks like a forge weld rather than an electric weld.  My vote is for an antique factory repair where they forge welded on a new face plate.  Period literature says some anvil makers offered repair services.  

Can you show us more pics of the face and weld seam?

What does it weigh? I don't see any remnants of a logo or weight.

Not sure exactly probably somewhere in the 300lb range I think 

More pictures with the paint removed as best I could 

That’s correct just one on the waist and not on the foot 

Actually yes there is one under the heel as well

How many handling holes does it have?

Is that the remains of an hourglass indentation on the base?

It’s hard to tell it looks like it could be but it’s hard to decipher with all the hammer marks and other marks 

I’m located in New York the Anvil came from a machine shop in Baltimore.

Hey Guys I’m new to the Forum and Just got a Anvil from a buddy of mine and I’m trying to identify who makes it. Attached are some pictures. The only markings I was able to find were on the front Feet.
