Here is a stack of my anvils I own.
The middle one is a new purchase for 166 dollars on amazon. A bunch of Chinese sellers have them like happy buy, smarket, and weird company names that looked like they just asked google to make up some word for them.
Anyway, that aside. This anvil is a VERY good anvil. It's solid cast steel, not cast iron or even spheroidal graphite cast iron (ductile iron). It's cast steel with some hardening to the face.
It's a lot bigger than my 53 lb Fisher-Norris anvil. The face of that thing is literally the same width as the face the 175 lb Peter Wright has.
If anyone here wants to start blacksmithing and wants an anvil and are too stubborn to want to use other methods of getting around having a "proper" anvil, then this is a perfect solution if you are willing to spend 166 dollars in total on it. All ya need to do to it really is a bit of clean-up, like dressing the edges and removing that ugly blue paint and then polishing the horn.
That anvil is made in shape of a typical Italian style anvil. Close in shape to a French anvil, but a bit different.

Have you ever participated in those events where they stick a bunch of black powder between two stacked anvils then ignite it to see how high the top anvil will fly?
Blasting a 200 lb anvil a hundred feet into the air isn't the most dangerous part, it's when the flying anvil decides it's time to return to the ground as the things aren't known for their aerodynamic design and they tend to fly randomly.
