Marc1 Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Looks as if it was never used. I wonder who would need that size anvil today with power hammers and presses. A bit of a trophy it seems. I have my own "trophy" a PW at 480 lb. Looks pretty but hardly used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaughnT Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 I'd gladly have it in the shop! I don't have much use for such a huge beast, but she'd have pride of place for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ranchmanben Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 I don’t know what I’d do with that much anvil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JerryCarroll Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 I would bet most of the things like the Hugh anvil were grabbed up by collectors the way the way it is here not very far from Chicago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
