Just picked up a new anvil at a flea market and I wonder if anyone else has
used this brand before -- I believe it is a Columbia or Columbian anvil. The
only mark is a triangle with a C in it. It appears to be a cast anvil but has
a nice ring to it so I expect it must be cast steel.

All my other anvils are forged -- will a cast anvil hold up well or should I
put this one on my tailgate and sell it?

It's in nice shape save for the typical edge damage, weighs 152 pounds.

Have no experience with their anvils, but do have a Columbia post vise 
and it's first rate.

My friend has a 250# Columbian and he seems to like it.  I bought
a 140# one at the Quad-state roundup in October and it works
quite well for me.
