And how wide (base and top of the face)?

It's 19" long x 10-3/4 tall x 5-3/8 wide..

 Sad day, I just let this beautiful anvil go. 

Thanks to all for the feed back.

It's about 18" or 19" long x 10-3/4 tall.

Hi George, thank you for the insight on my anvil. IMO, I'm thinking this is more of a wall hanger than a fungtionaly anvil for actual doing meaningful forging with. 

I don't know it's weight, but 15 years ago when I could easily lift 100lbs, I'm thinking this weights considerably more than that. Although perhaps I was a just a 250lb weakling back then...lol

Thanks for the warm welcome message. I think when I first posted this posting, because I didn't have an account here yet, the "Add Files" button wasn't visible. I only noticed it after I replied to your fist reply, and then felt pretty dumb after I noticed the "Add Files" button...lol

Sorry for the link errors. I'm new to this site. I tried to do a links to photos in my Google Drive. I'm not sure how to upload photos and or do links here. I'll try to figure that out.

Hi everyone,
  I just joined this form to try and find some info on an old anvil I picked up years ago. My name is Derek, and I was driving through Cape Cod Massachusetts about 15 years ago and spotted this anvil in a flower garden beside an old house. I knocked on the door and an elderly woman answered. She said it was in an old building when they purchased the home, and had moved it out and built a flower garden around it. Jokingly, I mentioned that it a shame to see such a wonderful tool retired into a flower garden, and that I that I would really to put that anvil to good use in my machine shop. She said she'd like to remodel her garden, but had no way to move that hunk of metal, so she sold it to me and my wife and I struggled to loaded up into the back of my GMC Blazer. Now I'm retiring and I'm selling off my machine shop.

Can anyone offer any info about this anvil, and what it's worth?

Thanks
