Well I got it 150.00 and helped him unload some other blacksmith stuff out of his pickup. Nice face great ring edges are a little beat up but I'm happy with it.

I see no markings at all . The guy I bought it from seemed like a honest guy with a beutiful anvil collection. He said just by looking at it he can tell its a Soderfors. I dont care to much if it isnt, for 150.00 I couldnt go wrong 150 lb anvil

Yea it seems theres a million guys on craigslist looking for anvils. I posted a want ad and a guy called me the other day and said " I think I got a couple 100 to 150 lb anvils down at the barn" I asked do you know what you want for them, he said no. I was salivating thinking Im finally gonna get a good barn find cheap. Well he still wouldnt give me a price, so I drove 1/2 hour to check it out. When I got there he must of had 15-20 anvils along with lots of other blacksmithing tools and there wasnt any anvil under 300.00 and the anvils looked beat. Everything had a price on it, thats what pissed me off, why couldnt he tell me. Guess he wanted to get me there.

Oh and the other ones are not left anymore.

Im looking at this Soderfors 150lb anvil and I dont know much about them. Just looking to get something to mess around the shop with. No big time iron work or anything. He's asking $200.00 says its cast swedish steel from 1910, has nice rebound and ring. Is it worth that much? What to offer? Havent actually looked at it yet, only photo.
