stevomiller Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 Holy Cow! I sent an email to Vaughans Hope Works asking if they had an USA distributor, to which they replied that Milwaukee Tool & Equipment was it. I contacted them and received a price list which has just crazy prices! Current prices for those interested (please be seated): 84lb / $1,605 100lb / $1,729 140lb / $2,401 200lb / $3,151 280lb / $4,451 336lb / $5,226 Suffering from a heart attack, Steve Quote
njanvilman Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 WOW! Those prices make what I paid for some of my big FISHER anvils more tolerable. Wondering how many they sell.....at those prices! Quote
Boilerguy Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 Heck I have a new old stock Brooks 144 lb I would sell for less than half of new list price they are a good anvil but whew!!! Quote
Bentiron1946 Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 I got a 300# Fisher I'll sell you at those prices, heck even a tad less seeing as to how it's you I might even make you a special offer :D Quote
Backwoods Blacksmith Posted July 30, 2011 Posted July 30, 2011 Check out the Nimba Forge line of anvils. Plus made in America Quote
monstermetal Posted July 30, 2011 Posted July 30, 2011 Yeah those are "list" prices... not what you could by one for... Milwaukee tool has a standard "list" price which is double what you pay.... ... I have dealt with this for years... there are quite a few tool company's that still have outlandish list prices... Here is a price list for Vaughn on the other side of the water.... I think you could buy one for about 20% more here if you chose too.. If not buy one from Vaughn and pay shipping to get it here and it would still cost far far less than those prices....http://anvils.co.uk/products/view/56?cat=12 Quote
philip in china Posted July 31, 2011 Posted July 31, 2011 I don't know why their "list" prices are so high. I doubt if anybody ever pays list. I know I never do. They supply to government agencies such as the armed forces and almost any anvil in a UK school or college will be a Vaughans. I have used quite a few and have found them uniformly excellent as is all their product line. The amazing thing is the sheer range which they have in stock. I once counted the sizes, single or twin bick. Add on the farriers ( a couple of designs) and the saw makers' anvils and you get a huge range. Quote
2ball_thepriest Posted August 1, 2011 Posted August 1, 2011 I'm not sure those are the actual prices. I checked out the Vaughan's website and they sell 140 lb anvils for 460 pounds which is about $788. Quote
stevomiller Posted August 1, 2011 Author Posted August 1, 2011 The prices I listed are not the price listed if bought directly from Vaughans in England. They are the prices charged by their current US distributor that sells them under their house name of Milwaukee. BTW, I was just window shopping as I have a 150lb cast steel london pattern anvil already. If I were to buy a new anvil I believe I'd buy a Nimba, Refflinghaus or Rat Hole with double horns. Quote
Legba Posted May 31, 2013 Posted May 31, 2013 I lucked into a 45KG, 100LB Vaugnans for $125 that still had the Blue paint on the face and horn. Had it for about 6 weeks now and love it! Quote
Everything Mac Posted May 31, 2013 Posted May 31, 2013 Seems the largest they do is 196lbs ... http://anvils.co.uk/products/view/56?cat=12 Quote
