Just a quick question... how much of this is yours?  And where do you live that you have access to all of this stuff?  This looks like a blacksmiths heaven!!!

Nice anvil assortment.  #4 (forefront) is a chainmaker's anvil.  #5/6 is likely fairly recent German.  #7 appears to be a 'Colonial' dating prior to 1780.  Pritchel holes came into common usage about 1780 and steps about 1830.
