Anvil and stand - this is the 250lb Peter Wright that I replated and rehardened about 20 years ago. The concrete stand is about 300 lbs so the whole thing is pretty stable. The stain on top is oil from the pump can for the p-hammer. I also have a 100 lb Hay Budden that is my demo anvil on a metal stand.

PS - All this talk about old anvils - I had a Mousehole that appeared to date from the late 1600's, based on Postman's book. It was not in outstanding shape but still plenty serviceable considering the age - I sold it to a fellow smith in this area. Pretty cool to see an old lump of iron still being used.
