Got this little soderfors anvil and would like to know more about it. Is it casted or forged? And an estimated date range. There is a mouse hole in the back of the anvil and nothing in the front. 

Thanks in advance

The Soderfors people will be along soon to answer your questions about this anvil, but just a quick terminology point: that's a "handling hole", not a "mouse hole". "Mousehole" refers to the anvils made by Mousehole Forge of Sheffield, England, also known as the finest anvils ever made. Don't let the Swedish anvil aficionados tell you otherwise. 

Oh haha I’ve heard both but yeah that makes sense! Thanks for telling me
