Here is a photo of my anvils that I pick up occasionally at auctions or 
elsewhere.  The largest on the far right is a 250# and the tall one on the
left is 
a cone anvil for shaping rings.  One in the basement is a Peter Wright, 1893

by serial number on it, and been on Millie's farm ever since anyone can 
remember.

I collect these for old age when I can no longer start engines and will
mount 
them on a trailer, taking them to shows, and let the kids hammer on them all

day.  No grease, no oil, no gas, no starting problems, etc.  Just sit in the

easy chair all day and enjoy the show!

Wow!  That's quite a line-up.  

I looked most of my life for an affordable anvil and was drawing Social
Security before I found one.  Now I know why it took so long:  Tom had 'em
all.  :-)

So many projects.  So little time.
