Thanks for all the kind words. Yes, I guess I did get caught up in reading all kinds of "200 lb anvil for $85" stories. Long and the short of it is that I got a great anvil for a fair price. What's not to like about that. Plus, unlike most items I find for sale which seem to be 2+ hours away, this one was only a 30 minute drive. I am very happy and very excited to use it.
I will do some searching around, but is there anything I need to do to protect it (i.e. oil for rust)?
