Fosterob Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 Are you sure that is a peter wright? I think they have flat spots on the top of the feet. If that anvil has good rebound and sounds nice then that is a good price. Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timothy Miller Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 the super early ones has sharp edges I think. If you want it run don't walk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marksnagel Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 Get it, get it, get it! I have no real anvil and I would jump on it. You don't have to worry though its a long drive for me. But there may be another me looking for one in your area. Mark<>< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Roy Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 You PAID a good price if the face and edges are in good shape. I don't care for a loud ring myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
