[TheForge] Old World Anvils?????

[Daniel Kretchmar]

Tod,
   I have the 262# classic and I really like it. I got it from the previous
owner of Old World, for $525. The only problem I have with it is that the hardy
hole is 1" and my hardies from my old Arm and Hammer anvil are all 7/8". 
Remember to take shipping costs into account when you make the purchase unless
you happen to be near Postville, Wi and can pick it up yourself.  It bounces my
hammers fine, though it rings really loud even with a magnet attached.
