Has anyone used the 250# version of Steve's Anvil. I'm about to purchase one and thought i should ask around before I sell my Grandson to pay for it.

My dad and I thought your posting was very funny. Sorry, but we are novices and have no experience with anything but our 148.5# PW.

Thanks for the post. We Grandfather's have a strange sense of value....on most days my Grandson, either of them is worth a good bit more than $1200, but there are those days when i probably would take some cheap cast iron for either of them.

Sorry, never heard of this anvil. Might you have a picture of it?

check this web location for a picture.

i guess we're not allowed to post web addresses, but if you do a search with that info it will take you to steve's site which includes several pictures of the anvil.

The link worked for me. No experience with them though.

The link worked for me too.

Nice looking anvil but there's no info as to the alloy, rockwell of the face, etc. so I'd have to ask some questions.

On the homepage they say its 495 Brinell hardness. I looked on websites for conversion to Rockwell but I am not sure about the different Rockwell scales they show.

I remember reading somewhere that they were good anvils. Looks like they have changed to a new name.

495 Brinell is Rockwell 51 C - not glass hard but plenty to resist damage.

I am not very far away from Jackson, Wyoming and I generally get up that way a couple times a year. I may stop by and pay them a visit, It looks like a handsome anvil, but I don't know much about them.
