Exclamation ATTN all Ozzies - anvil sighted

Thought all our Ozzie smithis would be interested in this one.
Spotted an anvil on ebay (Item number: 370092848246) that looks suspiciously like a mousehole going for $250.00 - no bids as of yet - origin of sale is Australia.
Unfortunately there is no item description so I can't even tell you how much it weighs.

Just a heads up.

G'Day Sam , yep seen it , & if i wern't spendin' all my " spare $ on a air hammer i'd ave bid by now

Last week on eBay AU a 559 lb anvil went for almost $ 1800 AUD ( about a 6 pak of BEER USD since the AUSSIE $ took a bashin' in the markets )

I'd say part of the problem on said item would be as you scroll down the screen to look the page stops 1/2 way , look at the other stuff seller has & is the same , pity , a little beat up , but still useable .

Yeah, I'm watching it. Odd thing is, it doesn't have a Pritchel hole. Maybe an old one?

Yup, it is - for me anyway.

I've had a message from the anvil seller in the original thread. Details of the anvil are:

It weighs about 30.5 kg's.

Anvil stands about 200 mm high.
415 mm long tip to tip.
Horn is about 120 mm long.
Flat table is 265 mm by 85 mm.

It's a bit smaller than the ones I'm used to, but at 30kg it is nice & portable.
Worth the money plus courier from Vic to Gold Coast?

I am waiting for a Cutlers Anvil to appear. There must be thousands of them around.
