Omars Forge

I am in western PA near Pittsburgh. These types of anvils are not entirely unusual popping up in auctions from time to time around here. Way gooder ... I'll be sure to tell my friends that. LOL. Yea, the solution to the bum shoulder may be a cheat/trip hammer. There is also an EXCELLENT historical site nearby that does blacksmith training occasionally. Not sure if they have room for a donation (maybe to auction to their new students wanting to get started). Just some options kicking in my head. Thanks for your time/perspective. Ah, I was wondering if that welded top plate was original or a fix. Thanks!

From reading other posts and knowledge sharing, I think this is a (beat up) Vulcan anvil. Your thoughts on that? Also, the "20" on the front foot area would indicate 200 lbs, yes? I got this years ago; I built a stand for it and have some misc tools but really can't use it (injured shoulder). Do you think it's worth anything, or just scrap given it's condition? I appreciate any advice, of course; nice to have some experienced eyes and minds to ask questions of.
