Hi all--
Just out of curiosity, I checked the price of new anvils.
https://www.centaurforge.com/Scott-Anvils/products/581/
Centaur is the go-to shop for farrier's and blacksmith tools, and I was an
occasional customer there for years.
Anyway, it looks like a new, high quality anvil costs about seven or eight
dollars a pound these days.
When I started looking for an anvil, I hoped to pay about a dollar a pound,
and settled for about $2.50. I guess the same economics are still valid.
My anvil is a Peter Wright, about 100 pounds, and presumably imported from
England about 1900. It's pretty and a nice classic, but Peter Wrights are
notorious for being loud. That's probably where a lot of my hearing went--
