Hello Everyone,
I am trying to figure out if I am thinking correctly here. I bought a 200 lb Trenton about 3 months ago that I have since learned had the face surfaced and in the process flatend 2/3rds of the horn on the top. The face has about 3/16th of the top plate and about 70% rebound across most of it until you get past the hardy hole at which point it is 40% to the heel. I use it and it performs fine for me with no issues and enjoy the anvil. I have a buyer who is aware of all it flaws and wants to purchase it. What has me interested in selling the anvil is the ability to upgrade (or my perception) to a 300 lb TFS anvil from my local farrier supply store. I guess my thinking is bigger.newer is better. Not a lot of information on the TFS anvils and wondering if this would be an upgrade for general blacksmithing? I do ornamental work, I do not make hammers or anything like that. The largest stock I have worked with so far is 3/4 inch.
Would love to have some folks thoughts on this, should I just stay with the Trenton?
Thanks for listening, Gimpl
