Thanks for the thoughts, appreciate it. I will check it out and see if I can verify the weight they claim

Hi, I've found this anvil for sale but haven't seen it in person yet. It's ~175lbs and of unknown age but pre-1970 and looks pretty beat up (esp the hardie hole) It would be my first anvil (I haven't even gotten started yet) and I wouldn't be working anything too large on it for now (first project will be a ring). I don't want to fully cheap out and buy an ASO I know I will have to replace soon and this seems like it may be good. What do you guys think it is worth? Thanks for your help, looking forward to firing up my forge for the first time this weekend and hitting some iron.
