I paid about $3 a pound for the 100 pound Peter Wright, and yeah, they’re
loud! The 160 is a bit lower in its ring , if not necessarily any quieter.
it can be a little odd to walk up to a Fisher or Vulcan and hear that dull
thud, but you get over it. $4 a pound is generally considered a fair price
for both buyer and seller, at least between blacksmiths, for a used anvil
in good to very good condition. Oddly there seems to be a premium for both
very big (over 300 lbs) and very small (under 100 lbs) anvils. And the
French "Pig" anvils, Firminy is one maker, often top that $7-8/pound range.
Something to dream about.
