How do I identify my anvil?

How do I identify my anvil?
To identify an anvil, look for markings that indicate the manufacturer on the top, sides or bottom. Many anvils display a three-digit number, but this refers to the weight rather than a style name or maker. If you can obtain the name of the manufacturer or artisan, consult trusted online resources to learn more about the company or individual. You can also seek the help of a certified appraiser or antiques dealer who is knowledgeable about anvils. Shop a collection of anvils on 1stDibs.
