I appreciate all of the input so far. I will be heading up this weekend to look over, and more than likely purchase, discussed anvil. I didn't even think to bring a straight edge along with me when I go. Hopefully, come next Monday, I'll have a new anvil, and be one step closer to banging metal!

Asking price is $175, so about $1.17/#. The price is great, and it looks good to my eyes, but I guess I'm just being cautious as I'm a newbie.

Hey all! Been a lurker for awhile here, and have really enjoyed the discussions and advice given through out the site. So, I need some advice. I am looking to buy my first anvil, used of course. The fellow has sent me a few pictures of it, and it looks pretty good. 150#, 1" hardy hole, 14" high, 4.5" face. Very little wear. But, I wanted to get experienced opinions on the anvil, since I will have to travel about 150 miles to retrieve it. Thanks for your attention, and happy forging!

Mind if I ask where abouts Dayton this fellow is? I live between Dayton and Cincinnati, so it'd be great to have a coal supplier near me.
