Looking at the extension cord on the ground makes me wonder if it's an ELECTRIC anvil.

That's to power the heating element inside the anvil.

A friend of mine tracked down this Hay Budden anvil for me, thought the going price was a buck a pound so offered him $250, he was happy then I found out what they're going for. By the size of the hardy hole, 1 1/4 inch it may be in the 350 pound range.

welcome on the link... Your anvil looks like very nice one f350, the corners look square and the top doesn't looked wallowed out from always working in one spot, it looks to be in very good shape, you did good.
Right now I use this round for center punching and straightening parts out. The small plate was handy so it got permanent/temporary tacked on.
