I was able to acquire a heavy old blacksmiths' anvil from a friend for a good price. I got it home and installed today in my backyard. I will be building a coal fired forge next.
I can't read the manufacturer's name on the anvil but I found the weight markings as "1.3.3" which works out to 199 lbs in the old hundred weight system. There is a small edge defect but I'm not going to worry about that until I get some practice smithing first.
