The anvil logo on the trim edge is a nice touch. The anvil is marked.

This style anvil is very old. Later ones such as this are used on a flat surface, earlier versions have the stump fitted to the arch and feet.
This anvil has a typical small side penetration hardy hole.
These are punched and chiseled through the top plate and exit out the side of the anvil.
The side opening is required so that scale and pieces of steel punched through the hole can fall out.
What I did not know until recently is that the hardies that fit these holes have a curved shank as does the one above.
