September 28, 20232 yr I have an opportunity to purchase a large possibly Peter Wright anvil however the owner said make an offer. I don't think he knows anything about anvils. I don't want to short him or lowball him. He inherited it from his late father. He doesn't do any blacksmithing and, from what i can tell, just wants it gone. What should I offer him. It is several states away so I don't want to spend a fortune on gas and a anvil. It looks to be in ok condition and weighs a lot. Does anyone have the weight on this anvil? Thanks! Also any thoughts on the cone mandrel? Is it worth me putting in an offer? Price? WFF
September 28, 20232 yr Anvils and cone mandrel's are generally sold by the pound so not knowing what the weight, it will be hard to give a ball park value. They both look to be in very good condition and I would probably offer between $2.00-$4.00 per pound, if the anvil passes the ring & rebound tests. I can't control the wind, all I can do is adjust my sail’s. Semper Paratus
