Interesting and very similar indeed... this thing surely is pre-1968 obviously. Beacuase of where I found it... un buried... I'm thinking he purchased it at auction more recently. Where as the other pre-50's tools have been buried and forgotten. Grandpa went a little auction happy toward the...

Actually 16-17" anvil looks early-ish... perhaps 30's? yeah I know there's another forum for anvils too... But maybe I'll just stick around here as you guys are awesome!
