    Yes, Thomas, I have a 400 pounder. Look at the small void on the side just in front of the hardy hole....my top plate is a bout an inch thick, and doesn't have any voids in it.

    Can't see any evidence of the tool steel top plate.

    Huntington Craigslist showing a 366 pound anvil in good shape for $400. Don't know how to post a link.

    Ahhh....now I see why you didn't reveal what you paid for it. How about a good picture of the right side face edge?

    man, that's a long horn for a Fisher.

    No need to be ashamed, you done good...I paid $600 for the same anvil, and feel like I stole it . Lady couldn't understand why I would drive 720 miles round trip for an anvil - big ones are rare on the west coast! In regards to how thick the tool steel on the horn is - follow the bottom line of the face steel to the horn, and that is the bottom of the horn steel.

    I paid $1.50 a pound for a 400 pounder a couple of weeks ago, thanks to stuartthesmith...they are quiet. Can actually use it without the hearing protection.

    Stuartthesmith- I'd like to thank you for the heads up...tomorrow I'm driving up to the San Fransisco to pick up the "large anvil" you posted about. Turns out it is a 400 pound Fischer in good shape. Thanks again.

    I've seen (and missed) several large anvils that came out of railroad shops. A 800 pounder and two 400 pounders. The search continues...

    Hey, if that's your tire in the background, you need an alignment.

    Where were the works? Do you know the years that they were produced? Thank you.
  15. otisdog
    Considering a possible purchase. Can any one give me the companies background, and opinions on it's quality? Thanks.

    of anvils that was for sale in California for 30k (or was it 27k?) is being subdivided into smaller lots. There are two craigslist listings (Los Angeles) - the first is 1300 lbs. of anvils for $4.18 a lb., the second is 1354 lbs. for $4.24. No affiliation.

    Okay, I'm confused...Once they changed to the "A" designation, they didn't return to the none "A", did they? So how is the aformentioned 31204 date from 1897 if my A20457 is from 1895?

    On the Sacramento craigslist, $1.75 a pound. No affiliation.

    Ummm...you're in Sacramento, the ad is on the Sacramento craigslist...
