Before spending too much money on this big orange antique, I made my own anvil; when I was hooked on blacksmithing, I started looking for a real anvil. This one became available through Kijiji not too far from home, but it took nearly a year of searching. It was risky since I had no clue if this anvil was worth anything, but I brought a small ball peen hammer with me to test the face, and it seemed to perform well. I loaded it into my trunk and brought it home to figure out more about it.
It took some time to figure it out, and now I am pretty sure that you have to watch the video to find out more about this old beauty.

Here are links very similar anvils, which are easier to identify because of the logo.
