I’ve read that these anvils area cast iron mostly but the top ( work surface) is a steel plate . It was built this way in purpose to take the “ping” out of it. I have one that is in great condition that my great grandfather used on a covered wagon in west Texas . He would travel to nearby ranches as a farrier and blacksmith. The anvil had the eagle and a 200 stamp.
