One you omitted is "touch the anvil".

Does that have any conceivable basis in fact, not fancy?

If (a) your burn is from grasping a hot thing and (b) you have an
unheated shop in somepace like New England or Minnesota (or Nova
Scotia), yes.

If you grasp the horn of the icy cold anvil, your hand is rapidly
cooled in the same places that it was burned by grasping the hot
thing.

Okay, okay, beyond that we risk getting into "which way does your
anvil horn point", magnetic anvil mojo and similar ga-ga territory.

FWIW,
