I'm actually looking for a first anvil. Do you already have a seller?
If not what are you looking for?

About to part with my first anvil, cleaned it up a bit and found:

       H I L L

    Birming [ham?]

Anybody know the background?  Google turns up fragmentary, sometime
contradictory info and reports that Postman gives it only a passing
mention.

FWIW, has hardy and pritchel holes, appears to have forge-welded face,
is a 1 1 4, kinda stubby-looking rather than the elegant lines of a PW.
