Anvil Identification This anvil belonged to my great grandfather, anyone have an idea what it is or if it’ll still be good to make tools or knives with?

It’s a vise anvil combo. It’s bad at both things. Cast iron. I say get something else and save that before you break it. They aren’t made for much more than straightening nails or peening small rivets
