Good Morning,
It looks like a Flatter (used for making hammered metal, flat), a sheet metal/repousse' hammer (the hammer with the long stem and the oval lump on the end) and a Back-up bar (for holding on the inside of a body panel, while straightening/bending it).
A start to a journey that has no end, TOOLS!!

Scott, You may already know. A flatter is not a hammer. Swadges, fullers, punches, drifts, butchers and flatters with handles are top tools which are struck with a hammer or sledge. They are not for striking, they are struck. Hold your flatter on top of the work and hit it with a hammer, not your best forging hammer.
Looks like you've found a source for some very nice tools.

The book says......Numbers 109001 Thru 125000 were produced in 1906...That anvil does not have a Table either as most farrier anviles don't... I can also make out the 150 lbs. just below the trademark... That is also the place that Hay-Budden marked their anvils....For the inspectors mark look under the horn on both sides of the handleing hole...That mark is usually very deep.
Looks like a very good anvil.. Have fun....:giggle:

Having a blast learning about all this new Stuff! Got 3 books from the library - my favorite so far is "Practical Blacksmithing" by MT Richardson. Lots of compiled articles written by working blacksmiths from way back in the day.
I'll try and fire up the old coal forge today. If you don't hear from me again it's cuz I've burned my house down...
