September 13, 201510 yr Opportunity to buy a Peter wright anvil (legit?) 100kg Link removed Large cast forging Anvil. Has 100 stamped on the base and 130 stamped on the side. Dimensions are 675mm long x 305mm high. Approximately 100kg's plus. Comes with its own heavy duty metal stand. What's a fair price to bid up to do you think?
September 13, 201510 yr How common are good anvils in NZ? That PW looks to be in great condition, almost like new, so feel good about buying it regardless of the price. It's not like it's going to wear out any time soon, so you can always factor the cost over the number of years you'll have it.
September 14, 201510 yr Link has been removed; However: Peter Wrights were never cast and are marked in the CWT system not pounds or KGs ( 1 3 0 would be 1 x 112 + 3 x 28 + 0 = 196 pounds or 89 KG) If it is cast and not forged it is possible someone used a real PW as the positive when making the mold. Most likely they are just clueless on how anvils were made. Do the ball bearing test and if it comes out good it's worth getting for using no matter who or how it was made. If it comes out poor than it's not worth using no matter how it's marked.
