Hello, forgive me if I am in the wrong section for this inquiry. My husband passed away last year and I am trying to price metal working items. This anvil has been in my family for 60 years, I think. I have done some research and had an anvil person offer to purchase... but I wasn't ready yet. He polished the top to see if there were any weld marks and did a rebound test... passed both. My problem is that it is a very big anvil and my husband mounted it on a metal stand. So, I cannot see the front bottom of the anvil. I have attached pictures. I have done some research and it does not have any sway back and the logo is quite sharp. It has a raised 50 on the base. Any comments? ... measurement shown in pictures. Thanks
Questions: I know the weight often determines it's value. Does the raised 50 mean it is 500lbs?
Any guess on weight and/or value.? An anvil guy is coming over next week and I am looking for a range.
