Many anvils

From the handtools woodworking mailing list I belong to:


About like the first time I went with money in hand to an auction to
bring home a good anvil. Bid the other guy up pretty close to max on
a nice Peter Wright anvil. Then he upped it by another $50, so he
got it. I got the lesser one, (sort of), a Fisher silent anvil. We
helped each other load them, so he wasn't all bad. He was well into
his 60s and I carefully asked what he intended to do with it? Said
he collects Peter Wright anvils, and this will make a ton, 2,000 lbs
of Class A anvils just sitting in an outbuilding! He always wanted a
ton of anvils and now he's got them, good for him, some people! Got
his name, waiting for an auction bill. John in Nebraska
