I just bought stake anvil that is good condition. But there is no marks to id it. Pls help.

Very unlikely that you can id it. Is it cast iron or cast steel?

Thomas, I think steel bcoz its rings. The sound is different from normal anvil but the ring of this stake is almost like a small bell.

Have no idea on manufacturer or origin, but it sure looks useful for a number of things I specifically do.

Very nice then!  What kind of work are you hoping to do on it?

I'm wondering how it's mounted. Is the round base partially hollow? Most bicks I've seen fit in a hardie hole in an anvil or work table/block. Never seen anything quite like that one.

Nothing special for that stake Thomas. Yesterday I found it from old horse stable under junk things. First I saw was the horn and the rest was buried underground . I thought this one gonna b small anvil and continued digging. That's all the story of the stake.  The base of this one is solid square. I also wondered that the base isnt fit to the hardie hole of my 3cwt Brooks. 

 

Thanks all for the help.

It is not a bick it is an anvil

It mounts in a stump.

I see. Thanks for clarifying that.
