Nice anvil. Can't help ya on the origins but fishers are good anvils. They have a cast iron body which makes them much quieter than wrought or steel bodied anvils. Any other markings on it? Weight?

Actually the owner and curator of the Fisher Museum participates on this forum; goes by njanvilman  if he doesn't pick up this thread you could pm him.

This would be a good place to start.

By the logo, your anvil was made between 1872 and 1880, by Fisher & Norris, in Trenton, NJ.   If you post the dimensions, I can tell you the weight.  This era F&N anvil did not have the weight on it.

Welcome aboard... nice Fisher you have there. I hope you have read about not doing any grinding, milling or welding on the hardened steel face. BTW: I always suggest reading this to get the best out of the forum and how to stay off the moderators radar. READ THIS FIRST

What exactly do I need to measure...I appreciate the info...think I made a great buy

Height, length, width. What'd ya give for it if ya dont mind sayin. And depending on where you're located would determine what's a great buy. Anvil prices can vary widely depending on location.
