fishing guru Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 I found a great anvil. I got it at the great price of 50 dollars :D . There are the numbers 2-1-14 on the side and i was wondering if someone could give me info on this prize. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Turley Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 If it has the little ledge on the base, horn and heel sides, it might be a British Peter Wright. The British weight system is based on hundredweights, each being 112 pounds. The first 2 would indicate 2 hundredweights, i.e., 224 pounds. The numeral 1 would be one quarter of one hundredweight, 28 pounds. The last number is odd pounds, 14. Added together, if my addition is correct, that would be 266 pounds total. Assuming the anvil is that heavy and it is a Peter Wright, and considering that you paid $50.00, you got a real prize. Sayings and Cornpone "A camel. A horse made by a committee."

Dan C Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Ugh! Excuse me while I turn green with envy!!! Where were all these fantastic deals when I was anvil hunting? Don't get me wrong, I love my anvil, but really $50? Mine is a 190 lb PW that I paid $250 for that's no where near as good as shape as that one. Nice score...very nice score!

Frosty Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Great score! I'll need half an hour or so to stop hating you. Brush it off and take some hot steel and a hammer to that beauty, she deserves it. What the HEY? I've stopped hating you already. DRATS, what's the use. <sigh> Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaughnT Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 $50!!!!! That's a definite steal. The anvil looks very good in the pick, though it's missing the tip of the horn. Considering the "discount" you got, I wouldn't bother complaining to the seller, though...... Clean it up and post more photos so we can all drool.
