Default Anybody have an idea whos logo this is?

Just today I brought home this anvil, didn't need it but it looked neat and in super great condition with the top plate being smooth as a babies hind end. I have no idea who the maker is and hope you guys might tell me what the name is inside the elongated diamond you can see in the photo...the "N" is in the middle of this logo and is the tallest letter...can't quite make out the others. There are numbers on the front bottom also and on the far right side on the bottom a 4 digit number appear to be " x866 ", at least that what it appears to be. The specs are: 135 to 140 lbs., 28" o/A, 3-3/4" x 16" hardened top plate, 10" overall height, 1" hardie and two 1/2" pritchel holes. Not too sure what I'll use it for except crack black walnuts in the fall. Thanks to all who reply.

Try posting a pic on Iforgeiron.com some of the smiths there have a book called "Anvils in America" lists something over 100 different manf.

Now if I lived a little closer we would discuss the anvils future.

Mystery solved.....for some unknown reason I twisted my head around and looked at the logo in an upside down manner and no question now...TRENTON, first anvil I've ever heard of to have an upside down makers mark!
