Scrap Anvil find

[Radix lecti]

Hello, i picked up this little gem on Friday.A couple of scrap iron chaps happened to come around to where we were working asking for scrap metal,we had a few bits of scrap metal on site so i let them have it when i spotted this small anvil on the side of their pick up, asking the one chap if i could swap our scrap for the anvil he declined saying its worth a few quid.Hmm after a bit of the old gab and promising him some copper pipe next week he did a swap. Here it is all cleaned up. Cheers

Thats a lovely thing - great find. For the uneducated, is that shoe last on top?

It looks more like a whitesmith's planishing table.
