This is a type of portable or improvised anvil used by blacksmiths and metalworkers. Also known as a stake anvil or a block anvil.

There is a stake anvil in the dining room at Hearst Castle. The hammer with it was used to ring the dinner bell. I note what look like two bells along side the anvil here.

I think those are weights, probably heavy for a floor balance.
