Found this for 350 what do i do? is it worth it? it's 242.2 pounds. 

I've read some pretty good reviews on them from satisfied customers. Retail runs around $700.00 plus shipping. It wouldnt bother me to pay that price if all observation and anvil inspection checks out.

I mean in the pictures it looks pretty clean  so Idk just want another opinion

Good Morning,

I think you should pass and send me the contact for the person who has it. There are lots of members here that wouldn't hesitate.

Do Not Wait For Spring!!!!! GET IT NOW!!!!!!!!!!

Neil

Okay lol i arranged to get it saturday just wanted to gather info before hand, i have never used a czech anvil before and have no idea what to look for when it comes to them or problems you may encounter with them 

Excellent find!  I would definitely be on the look-out for more smithing tools when you get there.  I see two more anvils  in the background so you never know what kind of contact you might be able to foster.

Thanks thats a good idea  

Omg lol, has anyone used a czech cast anvil before? 

I haven't but I will if you send me the contact info for the guy selling it.   that's a nice lookin anvil. 

Well I've been told they're softer then other anvils ect, rebound of my haybudden is about 80-85% and the Czech is about 50-60%. I just don't want to be buying something that's a step up from an aso been reading mixed reviews going to just have to get it and give it a try I suppose, and I would das but then I'd be out of another anvil  I want a euro style one

Just saying I'd love to make a spot in my shop for an anvil like that at that price. Good find, And good luck with it. 

50%-60% is stull a huge step up from an ASO. The ones I have seen had almost zero rebound.

Okay well i guess theres no harm in giving it a good home:)

for that price you can always resell it if you don't like it.

Fair enough but i think i would have a hard time lettingnit go cause its so clean

At the end of you day when you buy it, think of it as the start of the collection

Already have a #300haybudden so it will be the start lol

My 2 are asking about a further increase in numbers. But not just yet I think

 

Lol xD someday

So i got it 

 

Nice deal on the anvil!  I like the old post and beam timbers too. Is that floor joist notches of were the beams repurposed for a different build? it looks as though your shop use to have a suspended floor.

 

Scott

I couldnt tell you sadly i dont know about the floor i only moved here about a year ago but that could be the case

Looks good! might wanna round off the sharp edges just a tad. up to you.   Nice hammers
