Wasnt really even looking !!-----just happened to spot a 5 min old listing on clist-----and an hour later !!

ball park 150 lb-----didnt spot any markings till i did the prelim wire brush-----HILL -----low on the body----the few HILLs i have seen in photos----the logo was higher-----great ring---80ish rebound------one wonky spot on top----not too bad for under a buck a pound !?!?

any thoughts on HILLs ?

Great scoop!  Sometimes you just have to keep checking places like CL and you get lucky.  Looks like it's in great using condition.

There have been several threads about them. A quick google search. Yours looks to be in good usable condition and the price was definitely right.

I had a Hill (200#) for a few years.  Good solid anvil, slightly oddball hardy hole size.  

That's a mysterious Hill.  Nearly identical profile to mine but it is definitely a different maker's mark.  Isaac Hill passed how business on to a son (Thomas I think but memory isn't that great on the topic).  I'm guessing it is a later one from the same family.

AIA says Hill made anvils until about 1850. It’s got a Pritchel hole, so it’s likely after 1830. I know this because I also have a Hill. Mine is similar in shape but with a longer horn. 

Yours is in nicer condition, though. A buck a pound is a great deal.
