I'm pretty sure it's a Vulcan, but I'm not 100% sure.   It doesn't ring, but it does rebound a good bit with a ball bearing.  The thing that has me not positive is the serial number tag.  I can not see any legible markings on the sides.   Any and all help is greatly appreciated.   

it is somewhat common for vulcans to not have any readable markings. because the markings are raised, it is relatively easy for them to wear off, especially on an old beater like that. the weld around the waist, along with the thick feet are characteristic of vulcans. 

It looks like a Vulcan to me also and the tag is just some company's inventory tag. If its cheap, its a good starter anvil, if its expensive i'd suggest passing.

"Rebound a good bit" is rather meaningless  can you associate a percentage with it so we can compare it to what we think a good bit should be?

I agree most likely a Vulcan and if cheap would make a starter anvil if expensive---well don't pay porsche prices for a ford escort!

I believe a good "standard" measure of rebound for comparison is to drop a 1" ball bearing from 10 inches.. use a tape measure or ruler, makes the calculation pretty simple (8" = 80%, etc..).  

I don't have a 1 inch ball bearing,  but I do have a 3/8 ball bearing.   I measured the rebound with that.   I dropped it from 10 inches, and got a bit over 8 inches of rebound.   Would the bearing size have a big impact on this test?   I was surprised to see that much rebound.  I bought this a few years ago,  I want to say I paid 75 or 100 for it.   The horn was chipped, I reshaped it some,   still not happy with its shape though. thank you everyone for your help with this.
