old anvil?

[Grandpa's tools]

Can anyone tell me about this anvil? I see no sign of markings on it. I am also wondering about the "T" shaped slot in it. I am just now wondering if it is actually part of a vice; maybe that raised end makes the static jaw, and the slide would have gone through the "T"? Thanks for any help.

Yes, that is half of a vise.

Thanks for the links, guys! Interesting... I kind of wish the rest of it was laying around here somewhere.
