Thomas thank you very much for the advice. I think I was just getting to impatient. I have talked to some people and found one lead, but they weren't interested in selling me one. Phil - I'll look into the plate, that's a very good idea.

Sorry I haven't set my profile up yet, I'm in Houston. Thanks for the info and I'm glad I waited. I check CL a few times a day, but everything that comes up is in terrible shape or $3+ an lb. I guess I just have to be patient.

I've been in the market for my first anvil now for a month or so but I haven't found anything yet. I found an 100lb anvil from out of state that will cost $100 to be shipped to my door and I I can buy the anvil for $150. From what I know, it looks to be an english style anvil, but I don't see any maker marks. Also it doesn't look to be an ASO, but I might be wrong. There is some face damage so that's why I think it's cheaper than others I have seen. My question is, is there something obvious I am missing, and is it a good deal/good first anvil to work with? Edit: I just noticed the pictures are very tiny, I'm trying to fix it now.
