Anvil price

[Dennis Morland]

Any ideas about a good price. I am at an auction and need some help. 141 lbs.

Brand? Forged? Cast? Do you have a ball bearing or hammer?

 

[Daniel Macina]

Dang! I don’t want to steer you wrong on the price so I won’t comment on that but that anvil is immaculate!

It looks good. The edges are sharp. I suspect around here $500 minimum if it has rebound and checks out.

Dennis I've heard 3-5 dollars a pound. I'm definitely not an expert though! That thing looks very good! GOOD LUCK!!

Well it sold for $600.00. But, not to me. I will keep looking. It was a nice one.

I could not find a maker’s mark.

I am having non buyers remorse.

I have seen them up to $1200.

Is the round piece on top of the anvil attached? I don't think I've seen that on an anvil before.

I also find it slightly odd that an anvil that has England on one side would list its weight in kilos on the other. To the best of my knowledge England has never used the metric system?

Most I would have paid for it is $400

D-Mo I have done a lot of anvil research over the years and I currently advise people to buy a new anvil because of the outrageous prices of old anvils. When I first started, I paid $300 for my 140 pound Peter Wright. We bought used anvils because you could get them for a good price, now there is no way. Now the same anvil goes for $650+. The problem is if you go home and hit that anvil once and it breaks in half you are out $600. At least for $700 you could have a new anvil with a warranty. Check out Kanca anvils, closest thing to a Rigid around at a decent price.

I tapped out at $300.00. Someone loved it twice as much.

It came off. For whatever reason it covered up the Pritchett hole.

 

[Chris Railey]

That would have been a very fair price for it. Good for the auction though.

 

[Jason Volkert]

Good luck!

I got a 150lb hay budden in great condition for $460. Found it on ebay.

Local pickup?

Are you needing a first anvil or was this just a prospect for another anvil?
