I guess linking to craigs list was a no no. So here is a pic of the anvil I asked about. Owner is asking 1375
It's known as a "Church Window" anvil. These have been used since medieval times(8th century), up until the middle 19th century. Commonly used by armorers and sword makers. With the Hardy hole at the heel, probably late 17 to early 1800's. 196 lbs...price is about right to serious 'smith collector.
