"Done by me Simeon Deco 1824"
OR
"Manufactured by Simeo Deco 1824"
H. SAGET was probably an owner that put his name on later.
This anvil has a very small 7/16 - 1/2" (11 to 13 mm) 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.
