Frosty - Thanks for the reply. I'll have to give your encouragement to try blacksmithing some more thought. There is a local shop . . . a few towns over that offers some classes. Owner happens to also be president of the local club. And the Good Lord knows some stress relief is always helpful. I will think about it before making a final decision. I am planning to give him a call tomorrow about it. I suppose I could give it a try for a while, and then if it really is something I am not finding of interest, could then pass it on. Thanks again ! Jeff

I have an old Peter Wright anvil, about 85 lbs. Face is 12-1/2 in x 3-1/2 in, height is 9 in, and the horn with step is 7-1/4 inches. This has been handed down from at least my grandfather, perhaps by his father. I am guessing it is from early 1900's at least. I am trying to determine its value. I have attached pictures. Unfortunately, I am not opting to keep it as I have not been trained in the metal arts, and don't really see that happening. Any help on me trying to value it for a local sale (Sacramento, CA area) or suggestions of how to do so would be appreciated. I'd rather that it go to a good home rather than just sit in my garage.
