Looks good Rusty

That's a good point Rusty. They are pretty crisp considering the beating the rest of it has had. Has yours got the "7" on the foot (under the horn)? Not sure what this means

Thanks Thomas. I figured the "2" was the first number to indicate the weight. Its 132.5 kgs or 292 lbs. What does IIRC stand for? 

Thanks for the advice. I've updated my profile with location and have got onto the Oz roll call. That's interesting about the tools and how they got tested. I'd say the old girl has seen a lot of new implements in her time judging by the volume of marks. Remarkable condition for the work its seen

Hi all! I'm from Australia. I'm new to the site and see there are some real gurus on here who can hopefully help me identify an Anvil I picked up recently. From what I can tell its old and potentially wrought iron with the hard plate on top. The sides have a strange pattern on them which might have been from misuse but could also be from manufacture. I've seen similar marks on a Soderfos Anvil but also thinking it could be a Mouse hole. Measurements are: Length: 750mm (29.5") Height: 320mm (12.6") Plate width: 145mm (5.7") Hardy hole: 25mmx25mm (1"x1") Pritcher Hole Dia: 15mm (5/8") It has a grab hole in either side of the waist and one in the bottom. I've wire brushed the sides so far and have only found a "7" on the foot under the horn, a "2" indicating the first number in the weight sequence, and a "U" above the 2. I thought I could see an "R" in front of the U but not certain. The weight is 132.5 kgs or 292 lbs. Any help would be muchly appreciated.  I thought I could see a 307 on the opposite side (bottom Pic3) when I was wire brushing but that could have been my imagination. Thanks in advance!

Hi all, not sure if the photo worked but trying to identify my anvil. Any help would be appreciated
