    Hi,
    The bottom photo bottom looks like a piece of railroad track. I have a piece about seven inches long that I used a paperweight.

    The one with (something) Fine Cars on it looks small enough to be a paperweight. Gift to customers?

    Would the first one have been used for jewelry?

    Yes, green felt on the bottom.

    Very possibly, but wait for anvil ex-spurts, I’ve never even read an article on anvils.

    Gold/silversmiths use a variety of anvils... 4X4 and 6X6 inch polished steel bench anvils,bench pin anvil,stake anvil and a 200 pound anvil for large work.The anvil in the top photo looks to have a rough surface and would not be good for non ferrous metal work.

    My Dad managed a 40mm plant for the Navy during WWII that ran 24/7.They would sometimes collect the scraps and make anvils When the plant was finally closed down, a number of the men gifted him their anvils with their names or initials on them. He kept most of them on his desk for years.

    I thought this looked really smooth and polished compared to the others. That's why I thought possibly jewelry.

    If it were polished it would look like a mirror,there is something on the large flat toward the horn possibly a smear or scrape.

    I've had two of my dad's anvils and a couple small grease pumps in my car for over 10 years... I JUST can't get rid of them

    I like the first guy, on the plinth(?)

    Pretty sure the wife here carries a full-size anvil in her purse... somehow a couple of them and a few bowling balls always seem to materialize in our backpacks when we go mountain-hiking...

    Nice stuff springfld.arsenal. My dad has a couple anvils on the bench in his shop. One of them though, I don't know how he got it up there, but at least I'll have gravity on my side when the time comes to get it out of the house!

    Correction:two old VISES and a couple of grease PUMPS.

    I've had lots of other crazy (Useful! Valuable!) things in my car, but can you imagine two full-sized anvils in your car?? Lol
