Anvil question

Never heard of it, but it was likely a store re-brand made by ??? company. Does the face of the anvil have a steel plate or is it just surface ground cast iron? Is it about 20ish lbs or so?

Honestly, it's hard to tell from the top, unless the top has been beaten to utter oblivion, which is telling that it's a cast iron face. That one could either be a hardened face or just an under/barely used cast iron face. It's easiest to tell from the side of the face - does it look like there is a separate plate that is attached to the face or is it just a single piece with the top machined?

At any rate, are you looking to buy it, sell it, or just curious? If you're looking to sell it, PM me, I may be interested as I've been wanting a little feller to put on my desk at work.

It's one piece with the top machined...no top plate welded on it. I bought to be used as a work bench anvil but was just curious on the branding on it. I appreciate your info on it though.

No problem. It'll be fine for gentle work and softer metals. I'd not try anything to serious on it though.
