New to the site and thanks in advance for any help. My uncle gave my son an anvil with this exact maker's 'Green' stamp on one side and '1 1 25' stamped on the other (believe this makes this anvil 165#?). My uncle was given the anvil from his great uncle who's family settled in Willow City, TX in the 1800s and my great, great uncle's brother worked at the Morris Thoroughbred Ranch where Max Hirsch, the famous race horse trainer started at 12 years old.
I was trying to find a date or at least an era when this anvil was made.

Fascinating! The anvil weighs 162.4 pounds so I surmise that it is indeed English made. The pritchel hole is smooth and doesn't show any signs of being drilled. So it appears to be post 1830. The best thing about it... it does pass the ring and bounce test and has a lot of life in it as well as being a family heirloom. I am very glad I found this site! Thanks for the info ThomasPowers!!!
