Peter Wright anvil

[randyrenfro7]

I bought a bunch of tools and in the lot is a Peter Wright anvil made in England. 128 lb. Do any of you know of a marketplace selling anvils?

Should sell just about anywhere. The "youtube blacksmith craze" is still going strong. People pay ridiculous amounts of money for anvils, especially Peter Wrights.

Frankly an "anvil marketplace" is likely to end up getting you less money for your anvil because you're marketing to people who actually know anvils. You could put it on Craigslist or FB Marketplace and pretty much name your price. Some fool will pay it.

For reference I've seen decent looking anvils that size bring $700+ at auctions.

If it's in good shape it's worth at least $5 a pound. You'll have no problem selling it as items for the smithy are hot. Teehee

This one is good condition, nothing broken or chipped. Thank you for your input.

In today's market, $5 a pound for a pristine Peter Wright would be cheap. I've seen anvils with broken edges and marked up tables bring $650. Frankly, if it is in as good condition as you say, I would not be surprised if you could get $1,000 for it. What's crazy is you can tell that people are buying anvils with no intent on using them. I was at a sale a while back that had 2 two pretty beat up anvils sell for $650 and $700, while a beautiful 36" x 30" Champion forge with an attached #400 blower sold for $75 after 2 bids. The forge came home with me while the anvils did not.

Surely though this one is purely speculative !

I'll take half that much for mine. LOL Must be one of the ones the coyote used to try to drop on the roadrunner. Movie stuff brings more.
