I went to a Sportsman's Swap Meet and found this miniature Colt anvil. It's cast iron and in perfect shape. The guy was wanting $30 and I talked him down to $25. What do you think did I do OK?

It's not old but you got it a little cheaper than most sell for on ebay.

Looks cool. Does it have a real use other than a paper weight or ornamentation?

How would you anchor it to a bench or are they made to be used free standing and how it stays balanced for it's use? Might be handy for very small work and hammering ferrules.
