Completing tasks around the shop and farm have required hammering on the back of a vise at times to bend metal. An anvil became available at an auction, so it's now in the shop. It likely weighs in about 70 pounds or so. Can anyone say anything provide any information? There don't seem to be any maker's marks on it.

Thanks for any insights.
