As far as the weight that looks like 1 0 12 = 112 + 0 + 12 = 124# (give or take a couple pounds), it's small enough for the bathroom scale so if you have one one you can confirm there.

I'm not an anvil expert, but it might be Hadfield & Sanderson, made in Sheffield, England. Someone else might know more.

I just checked AinA and there’s not much information about Hadfield an Sanderson anvils, pg 71 lists it as one of the English brands imported from 1800-1850, and there’s a short paragraph on pg 73 that talks about them, 

maybe Thomas knows more, 

as to the value… that kinda depends on location, and ring an rebound,

example. just two days ago I bought a comparable Peter Wright for a little over $2 a pound, but that’s here in eastern Oklahoma, depending on where your location is it could be worth $3-$4 a pound, 

Postman lists all those stampings for Hatfield and Sanderson.  I'd agree with TW!

Kinda looks to me like the 'pounds' number is 17, and the 7 stamp was placed upside down. Or my anesthesia hasn't worn off yet.

In one picture it looks like the end letters of Hatfield (ield) and Sanderson (rson) to me. I thought the upside down 7 was made by one of the random chisel test's but a second look it does look like a 7 upside down.
