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.

I'm almost ashamed of what I paid for it all of $574.98....

Hey Baja - that post has been deleted...what were they asking?

What did you pay for it?

Does anyone know the name of the "Fisher Museum" onwer?

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.

i bought a 2 1/2 cwt anvil from brooks direct from the works in 1964-5 the price was 28 pounds sterling ,around 3 weeks wage ,my dad went nuts ,for spending all that money ,when we had a shop full of anvils i wanted a smaller anvil to go out shoing ,all the anvils at home were in the 5-6 cwt range, it was a fine anvil ,the only drawback for a shoing anvil is the heel is thick and not good to pull shoe heels out on, i gave it to a young lad wanting to start up a year or so back ,and it had held up well .

Considering a possible purchase. Can any one give me the companies background, and opinions on it's quality? Thanks.
