Scott, your anvil sure looks nice!It's something to be proud of.I do like the London pattern(shape) the best.I like your comment to Edge(Your anvil will find you) .Kinda like what happen to me.During my long search for a "real"anvil.I drive by this antique car restorer's place day after day,never giving it much thought that he may have an anvil to sell.So I stopped by one day on my way home from work.I found out he does fix-up then sells the cars.He also sells other things he comes across.I told him what I was looking for,he says...I just recently bought 2 old barns full of antique cars and trucks and I think I saw a few anvils in there,when I go back I will look for them and let you know.Well...he had 3 of them.He asked me how big an anvil did I want?I told him I couldn't afford anything too big,bring me the smallest one you have.Anywho,turns out the smallest one weighs #178,and it was a HB in great shape!! :lol:I bought my first anvil for $150!Something just told me to stop in and ask,what could it hurt?
