  1. Adam, A beautiful anvil that you bought there. The edges are slightly chipped, but nothing that can't be fixed. That is a North German type, double horn with upset block. A big advantage of that style is that a major portion of the top surface is directly over the central block. Good luck with it!
  2. That is not a bad price. I suspect that this is the Boonville (Mendocino County, CA) seller. Closer to a large population center and that would be quite a bit more. The jaws don't look perfect, but entirely usable.
  3. You got a great deal there with the plate and stakes! The plate is typically mounted flush into either a wooden or metal table. It would be almost impossible to find a matching metal table, but you could make or buy a wooden bench/table and first cut out, then route out, then chisel out the corners, to the right depth so that the plate is flush to the table/bench. It has to be clear underneath so that you can insert the assorted stakes without obstruction. Should you decide not to use them, let me know! Keep in mind that these items are for non-ferrous metals; that is, they are NOT for beating steel or iron for blacksmithing or bladesmithing. The stakes are not hardened, made from soft steel, and using anything other than the appropriate hammers will ding them up quickly.
