How to photograph your anvil for ID

When you photograph a logo on an anvil, it is best to use a point or strong light from a low angle to the anvil. This created a shadow across the marks depression in the metal. 

A pencil rubbing on a piece of paper sometimes reveals details you may have missed.

Pay the anvil on its side and dust the logo with baby powder or flour then lightly brush off any excess leaving the depressions of the logo to catch and reveal the logo.

Use modeling clay and press it into the impression. Peel it away and look at the negative image of the logo.

Use all three and compare them.  Usually you can get most of the details.
