So I think (probably my first mistake) I will weld to the face to build it up and grind it flat . Then use it for my future knife making projects :>)

Hi, Thank you for your reply. So maybe a 19th century. Do you feel it had been refaced sometime because the pritchel hole is covered?

Hello. I am new to smithing and have recently purchased what appears to be a very old anvil. I have posted photos of the anvil and am hoping more knowledgeable people can help with information about where the anvil was made, if it is worth repairing and or any information that someone may have of this anvil. It is a small anvil at 80 lbs. and looks as though it was refaced at one time as the Pritchard hole can be seen underneath but not on the face. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
