Hi,

Looking to buy my first anvil to get set up. Most of the anvils that come up for sale are a long way from me and I would have to collect by myself in a small car. This one is relatively close by and I have friends/family nearby that could at least help me load it if I won. 

It looks pretty rusty and beat up. I have sent some messages for clarification and there is no text/numbers on it, the top face measures about 15.5" x 4". 

Any suggestions/information appreciated,

Your ebay add will probably be deleted shortly but i will look it over and tell you what i think.

I'd maybe bid up to £80 - 100 max. Broken foot, hard to tell much else about the condition from the pics.

England is packed full of really good quality anvils, so don't just bid on the first thing you see

Have a look around this site for info on improvised anvils if you're itching to get up and running until something better comes along 

It looks to be in decent shape other than the feet missing on the back but that doesn't effect the usability of it. If you can get it for a decent price go for it.

Thanks for looking over it. I did notice the foot which might make it a little harder to secure and damp noise out of I assume? 

Nope  you can use silicone caulk and damp it, or wrap a chain around the waist and damp it or use a speaker magnet under the heel and damp it, or...

Check rebound!
