Was the price changed from $275-$325? Still a good deal on a small forge and anvil. While Vulcans aren't considered top of the line, that one looks like it has good edges. The real plus is that anvils like this don't ring, so you won't lose your hearing or anger the neighbors.

If I lived nearby, I'd be on that like flies on a spawned out salmon!

Maybe my eyes deceive me, but it looks like there might be a crack on the horn, starting just forward of the flat part, angling down about 45 deg. It might just be dirt or paint or something, but it's right where a crack might happen. I wonder if it's been repaired?

These anvils are cast iron with a steel face. That could be the line where the two materials meet. The castings on Vulcan anvils seem to have a lot more defects than Fisher anvils. Fishers are made the same way. It could definitely be a crack though.

Hm, I am headed up into that town this evening for other reasons. But I already have a portable forge and an anvil:-)
