Very nice anvil and encouraging to see your excitement about Emerson.
I will be buying either the 150# or 200# tomorrow - still waffling based on price (which has gone up since you bought yours).
I'm in Oklahoma. I called Emerson direct to see what shipping options were. Pat Emerson told me that she and her husband were coming to OKC this weekend. I jokingly asked if they would bring the anvil for me so I could save shipping expense. She said YES! So, tomorrow I will make the purchase over the phone and they will load it up and bring it with them.
