Hi Adam!  That's funny, real old-school ROTF! 
    I've seen so many BIG anvils lying around Connecticut, and Pennsylvania (and
one in NOLA) that I could easily afford and would love to have at home. But the
shipping was always impossible. Maybe that's why there aren't so many around
here?

earth---sincerely; gam in OlyWA/USA


How horrible it is to have so many people killed!---And what a blessing one
cares for none of them!

I watch anvil prices on craigslist for laughs at this point, as
prices in WA seem to have gone way up in the last year. I dunno,
maybe a Trenton is a great anvil, but this seems a tad high:

150 lb. $800 
83 lb.  $450 
70 lb.  $400

A friend gave me a couple pieces of forklift tine that I'm currently
using as an anvil; lots of mass, and fine for my purposes (which is
basically bashing an occasional rivet lately).
