	Traded for what?

	In any event, Wrights are fine anvils.  I have three myself, 417 168 
and 106 pounds, though I just gavce the 168 pounder away to a friend as 
a gift with one of my home made hammers and my gas forge.

	I also like Hay Buddens and Trentons very much.  My favorites. 
Basically, they are all good with but a few exceptions such as vulcans, 
which are very, VERY dead anvils.  You can still use them, but they make 
work a bit more difficult and draining.
