This anvil was used by my great-grandfather. I do not know where or when he got it. There are no markings than I can see. I took some pics but not sure how to post them.

If you can load the pics on your pc (I put them on my desktop) then you can click on the attach file at the bottom of the frame when you are adding a post. Choose your desk top from there then find them and open one at a time. It's not real hard, just takes a little figurin'! Good luck!

It looks like a pre-1820 English made anvil.  Sometimes called a "colonial anvil".   Considering it is probably over 200 years old, it is in remarkably good shape.

According to my late great-aunt, my great-grandfather had the anvil when he moved to Memphis from rural Mississippi. His father was a doctor who took payment in trade, so it's very possible the anvil was a payment for medical services in the post Civil War era.
