Well, after reading everyone's post, being warned about "quoting" (I really do apologize) and internet reading about pritchel holes, hardy holes, termenology (horn, not snout, thanks Irondragon) restoration and the process of it.....I don't believe my anvil is worth much. My Friend gave this to me as a gift, bought at a farm auction in Hutchenson KS ($90). I think I can still use it, make some different hardy tools for different small projects. My Friend did not know (nor did I) that anvils could be so complex.
As Anvil said, it has seen better days.
We have a blacksmith "club" in Haysville KS and will attend to inquire and ask questions.
Thanks to all and again, I apologize to moderators for not reading everything before posting, I did not want to do wrong just jumping in.
Thanks to all.....if you think the anvil is salvagable, please let me know.

Ps........I cleaned it up a lot, don't see any names, words, part mark's/casting mark's, just the 70 on the front. Also, I did the "bang the hammer" on the face and it is a dull thud, NOT a high "ting".....I think that tells me that quality is not there.
If I have any of this wrong.....I have broad shoulders, just let me know.
Thanks
