I picked this up yesterday on the cheap, but I think it is very old. Any help with maker or age? No markings that I can find

Can anyone shed light on this Colonial anvil? It has "J O E" or "J O L" on the side and weighs 93 lbs. I picked it up at a little auction yesterday. Thanks for any help.

Hey y'all, I'm pretty green to the world of blacksmithing but decided it was time to start buying some equipment. I had the chance jump at me to buy a fairly nice looking anvil for a good price at a farm auction and took the plunge. Thing is I can't find a whole lot about it. It appears to be forged but I can't find a reliable maker's mark on the whole thing. All I am able to see is the chiseled initials JTH. On the reverse side is chiseled 1-1-18 followed by 7115. Now the first set number initially screamed hundredweight marking, 158lbs, except that the anvil sadly only weighed 102lbs on the scale. No Pritchel hole is present. The horn also looks like it was tacked on as an after thought, it looks welded or something? Anyway any help would be much appreciated!

Hey all, I just picked up this 5th foot colonial anvil this afternoon, appears to be stamped 1-1-2 (circle) giving a stone weight of 142# bathroom scale says 143# so that checks with chart. Not sure what the circle means other than perhaps an inspectors mark or added by an owner over the years. Looking for any additional info. Thank you all in advance.

I have built a double lung bellows and a fire pit for an 1820s historic recreation site. The bellows will blow directly into the fire from the side. I suspect that this will make a lot of difference in fire management. Any resources on working with a side blast fire? Any suggestions?
