Dropped of an anvil to a guy in Ohio who bought it off eBay and saw all of his other stuff. Saw this one and couldn't leave without it. 

It looks as it was never used, good ping and nice bounce!

Nice find indeed. If you don't mind, how big of a hole did it leave in your wallet?

Hate to say it but just north of 2G's. Impulse buys are the worst but I've never seen one so clean.

It is beautiful for sure.

If you’re happy with it and the price paid, then it was worth it.

Color me jelly,

Nice anvil and nice size.  Now time for you two to get to know each other so it can pay for its keep at your place.

very nice.. Congrats..   This past weekend there was an auction for a passed away smith ..  200kg southern german went for 2100.00.. I would have bid on it had the hardie hole not been 1.5"..  I refuse to by an anvil with a hole larger than 1" now..  Though my 368 HB has 1.375".. 

Very handsome. Definitely the Wright thing to do.

It's the Wright stuff after all.

However I am ever so grateful for the 15 years I spent in the "Blacksmith's Happy Hunting Grounds"  starting in 1989.  I don't know if I would had kept with smithing at today's prices.

Very beautiful anvil. I can see why you could not leave without it!

One can always make an adaptor for the larger holes.

My large Fisher has 2 1.5" holes. One has a double sleeve adapter down to 1" and the other is left full size as I am gradually building/converting tools to match it.

After doing some info digging and extremely close examination of this anvil it appears that this one hasn't seen any use. There is an ever so slight convex shape to the top plate which by all accounts was Peter Wright's attempt to reduce the swaying effect from heavy use. I wonder if this was a display for a store for most of it's life. You would think they would use a small one as a display.

Oh MY, more than one (21 1/2") holes  that must be a REALLY large anvil!

Ahhhh, I do so love a good typo.

Not a typo on my screen: 2 space 1.5"    got any astigmatism? 

Nope, a cranial methane discharge. My bad.

What ever gives you a chuckle..  I can see why it could have been seen that way..  But,  its all good.. 

Nice Anvil !! I was lucky enough to find this one a couple years ago that was also in Ohio.. its a bit smaller at 290lbs. but also in very good condition... I was so very lucky to pick it up off craigslist it was at a antique store for $375.00 where the lady held it for me to do the 3 1/2 hour drive one way.. even though there was a person at the door when they opened with cash in his hand while I was talking to her on the phone !! that doesn't happen often !!
