I recently passed through an antique shop that was worse than ebay for pricing. A 150 pound Peter Wright farrier pattern (fairly good condition, but not excellent) was $800, and there were a Soderfors and a Columbian in the 100 pound range (neither better then fair-to-good condition in the $350-$400range.

That could be. I was under the impression that the hourglass depression was cast in, not forged into wrought iron. But like I said, I could be wrong as I am far from an expert.

I think that would have a cast steel base with a wrought iron top, and a steel face (I could be wrong though). I have a similar designed 102 pound Trenton.

Thanks for the warm welcome guys!

Thanks for the warm welcome Finnr! I'm looking forward to my stay here.

I met Darryl (sp?) in Moose Jaw yesterday and he recommended the site. Thanks for all the great advice and pointers Darryl. I look forward to soaking up the info from all the experienced members here. Thanks everyone, Mark
