I wouldn't say it was a smoking deal, but yes, I am happy with it given that it's a useful tool and has a possible historical value. It weighs around 250 lbs. I will try to get an official weight soon, though I'm not sure how I'll pull that off just yet.
A little about the deal. Two years ago I bought a 278 lb Trenton in good shape from a guy for $340. A few weeks ago I purchased a nice big Wilton C2 vise from another guy for dirt cheap. While I was there, he showed me a French anvil he was thinking about selling. I knew the only way I could get the French one is if I sold the Trenton, so that's what I did. It was a difficult choice because I loved that Trenton, but the rarity of the French anvil made it cooler and possibly more valuable than the Trenton. I sold the Trenton for $1,400 and that's what I paid for this French anvil. So essentially, I got this French one for $340 (with the stand). Here's a pic of the Trenton and the French one for comparison.
What do you guys think of the deal? Would you have kept the Trenton or gone with the French one? (French one is in a bit better shape.)
