I just bought my first anvil, and I know next to nothing about anvils.
It was in an old shop, underneath an old workbench, covered in cobwebs, sawdust and old grease. It weighed 126# on a set of bathroom scales and it gave good rebound when struck with a hammer. I gave $200 for it.
After cleaning it up, I can find no distinguishing marks, other than the number 13 raised above the base under the horn.
Can anyone tell by looking at the picture, what did I stumble on? Are there other ways to possibly identify manufacturer?
