Hey Bear,

Someone had at some time beat HELL our of the edges of the anvil with a LARGE hammer. In all my reading, one doesn't hit the ANVIL, just the metal to be formed. Mashed the square edges, broke the radiused edges, dcarred the face. Needless to say, I kept my hands firmly in my pocket. Gotta keep hunting and hopeing.

It looks like new anvils are going for about $5/pound. Knida out of my range to find out if I like the art.
