Thanks for range. Though it's "depending", it's nice to see it. I was taught (on this forum) that 80%+ is quality, 70% is good, 60% is tolerable, and 50% is on last legs.

I'm in Northwest Jersey. Stamped Peter Wright, with markings indicating it's 155 lbs. Rebound is above average. Most spots went to at least 70%. Edge of face is fine. So it's a functioning anvil; not an antique boat anchor. What retail price would you give it? Thank you very much, and I'm extremely excited to own a Peter Wright!

New Jersey. Of course I know Holmdel... Garden State Arts Center, now PNC. I saw some good concerts there.

Thanks everyone for help! The anvil is in Jersey. I'll try and get more info. Joe

Thanks Frog. Any idea of its retail value?

Friend of mine found an anvil. She has no clue about it. I haven't seen it in person, so these pictures are all I can go by. She says it's about 100 lbs. Thanks for any help, Joe

Thanks everyone! These are the only marks. Any ideas about the maker or year?

Thanks! I'll be careful. I'll hit it with a wire wheel/brush and some lube. The secrets will be revealed. I'll re-post the pic.

10 inches

Got it. He owned for over 30 years. It was time for him to sell. He just bought a 1931 Ford Model A. It was sharp. As for anvil, guy had a ball bearing! Some spots bounced to 8", no lie. Other spots to 4". Could be just where it was hitting mildew. I'll hit it with a wire brush. No markings anywhere. I searched all over. Maybe the brushing will reveal treasure. No weight measurements labeled. I attempted to lift, and no way could I get it off the ground by myself. So it's definitely not 96, and prob more than 150. I'm strong like bull. Without the marking I offered $220. I said I loved it, and I didn't want to insult him with $200 offer. We agreed on $230. Thanks everyone.

Guinness is the best. I got what you're saying. Big help. Guy wants $250. Prices in Jersey and around the Delaware river are way high right now. Anvils are hot, so it appears to be a tempting deal on the surface. Thanks! I'll test when I see it.

I'm a newbie. Besides a "feel" for rebound, any way to calculate it? Based on what you see, what would you pay for it to make it a no-brainer? Thank you.

Nice start to my investigation! I'm unable to be next to the item and I can't get those marking pics until later. Can you give me heads up so when I'm in person I'm prepared? If it's a Trenton, do you have any assessment as to it's value and year? What about a Hammer? Thanks so much

I'm in Jersey trying to get an anvil. Seller says it's 180 lbs. I need help determining the maker, year, value, etc. Thanks so much. Joe B
