ThomasPowers Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Saw this one at an estate sale cross town; decided it wasn't worth the drive; but now it's on my side! only US$450 for this "very great collectors piece" Also advertised as being from the 1800's where the England dates it to after 1900 according to Anvils in America Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave51B Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 So... now on yer side of town. Does that mean you bought it for $450 ? Surely you jest. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted October 3, 2017 Author Share Posted October 3, 2017 Considering I bought a rarer (a Powell), larger, MUCH better face, heel less anvil for US$40 once I only inquired about it for curiosity sake. I rather liked the wording of the ad: "Selling my Peter Wright 1800s anvil very great collectors piece to own" Lets see it is a PW; but is not from the 1800's not in anyway a collectors piece and as of last weekend it wasn't theirs... With the rise in anvil prices I might go $50 on it to pass on to a beginner at the same price... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoName Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Gotta love anvil descriptions. Rare, collectable, great condition...for the age. My favorite all time... auction site online E something, from a smoke free home. N.N.F. Beautiful, Manchester, Michigan. USA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomasPowers Posted October 4, 2017 Author Share Posted October 4, 2017 The poor is that it's been left to rust when there is still a generation or two of life left in it! "Smoke Free Home"---call the authorities, it sounds like anvil abuse to me! (unless they are using propane or an induction forge ...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
