The sloped side on these anvils reinforces the far corner where the smith does the most work as well as where strikers would strike heavy sledge hammer blows. This reinforced middle edge prevents the common breaks and chips you see on later square cornered anvils. This also results in right and left hand anvils. This one is a left hand anvil. The center column provides support such that the working edge at the middle of the anvil is supported as if it were the center of the anvil.
The slope results in approximately a 110° to 120° angle. At the heel there is a 90° angle and the back edge is a 60° angle. The break between the slop and heel provides an inside 90° corner. The horn blending into the slope results in a much larger radius than found on other anvil designs.
510 grams per pfund or 1.122 lbs/ pfund times 245 pfund = 275 the measured weight of the anvil. This style of anvil should date from the first half of the 19th century (1830 - 1840), completely consistent with 1845 pfund at 510 grams/pfund.
