I've got someone offering me this anvil and a handful of tools for $400. Its going to be roughly an hour and a half one way to look at it. He's said that it's a wilkerson around 140#. Do I make the drive?

I would pass considering how damaged the face is. There will always be a better deal, and usually sooner than you think.

NO!  What he said; the face looks way too thin and damaged to be paying around US$3 a pound for!

What they said.

For about twice that money you can get a NEW double horn cast entirely of H-13 tool steel from Jymm Hoffman.

Use TPAAAT and keep looking.

 

 

Exactly what I was going to do, but I wanted to make sure there wasn't something you guys could see that I wasn't seeing. Thanks!

In a word...nope, too much damage for me to consider it.
