Anyone heard of Hercules anvils?

[Chris Railey]

The price is right on this one. Edges are perfect but never heard of Hercules anvils. Anyone have info?

Hercules are what I would call a low to mid grade anvil. I've not worked on one personally, but have had students in my shop who have.... and they tell me that these anvils feel "squishy" to work on compared to my Trenton and Petter-Wright. For $3 per pound in today's market, unless it's cast iron, that's a pretty scream'in deal.

They were a hardware store anvil so that fits. If it feels squishy next to a PW then I may pass because that is what it will replace.
