Not an expert but have been interested and watching anvils the last several years. Unfortunatly for anvil users, we have to compete with collectors and horders for old iron. As indicated, manufacture,condition, weight, (the more under 100#s or over 150-200#s they are, usually the bigger premium they bring) condition, age, type (solid steel, Wrought or cast, I much prefer to work on WI anvils)then possibly style.

We currently have three acquired over the last four years, all in good conditon, nice faces with great 'rings': a Trenton 89# for 125 (Craigs List), WI Arm & Hammer 200# for $300 (Farm Auction) and a Peter Wright mounted on a well designed new steel stand for $150 (Craig's List). These will more than do whatever I need for as far as I can see into the future. I still see good used steel and WI anvils selling anywhere from a real low of 50 cents a pound up to a very high on ebay of seven or eight dollars per pound. Note that none of this pertains to the imported 'solid' cast iron chinese garbage also known as ASOs (anvil shaped objects) How good a freind and what do you have in it?

I try not to make money from my friends or family. Hope this helps Regards Do. Good luck finding anything decent for a dollar a pound now--$3-5 is closer for a decent anvil, and more for a good one. Yes, they can still be found (I bought a 120-lb Trenton for $100 within the last year) but the price above is much closer to market value for a decent one in decent shape. Another thing to be careful of--the market has been flooded with cheap cast iron anvils--I'm sure you can guess the source of most of them.

Cast iron makes for a terrible anvil--you lose a very large portion of the strike force into the cast, and they will not hold up to even moderate use. Lots of unknowing or unscrupulous people out there who are more than willing to pawn them off as 'real' anvils on a buyer who assumes anything anvil-shaped must be an anvil! Bring a good hammer and test it before purchasing--no honest seller will mind, as after all that's what an anvil is made to do. There are also several reputable Internet sources for new anvils--usually Eastern European in origin--that are decent buys, though as you might expect, the killer with an anvil is the shipping cost, which can run as much as the anvil does.

With his recent passing my brothers and I have been finding many treasures in the moving process. I may be posting more pics later for ID help, just giving ya'll fair warning. The anvil weighs every bit of the 300 lbs. Dad bought it at, I can personally attest to that. Harry potter audiobook download mp3. The 'logo' in the pics looks to me like an arm holding a hammer with, what appears to be stenciled or painted on, the letters 'U.S.E.' It has had a ~3/8' plate welded onto the top, with the accompaning square and round hole to match the anvil, I am unsure why, but would probably like to remove it at some time. I want to thank the group in advance for any and all help ID'ing this anvil, and as mentioned above I may be asking for your help in the future to ID a few other pieces we have found, some of them I think I know what they are but would like an amen from the group before pronouncing them.
