So a PW can be more 'valuable' in one place than another.

Distance and the lack of free flow of information makes the market less than free and transparent, and that gives lots of variations in price according to location. The above is he dictionary definition of how price is formed in a free market. This rate is usually expressed in money terms as a price. The value of a good is the rate at which it exchanges for other goods. If you want a workhorse that will not break the bank, you can do much worse than a PW If you want to buy top range, buy a Refflinghaus. The 250 is in much better nick, from being in a garage, hidden under a tarp for 40 years. had a previous hard life and the horn and table have a substantial depression, most likely from cold work on it. I have two, one is 250# and the other 450#, and there is nothing I can not make on those anvils. Don't abuse it and it will last 3 more generations. Lastly, I have no intention of selling it due to the immense sentimental value attached to it (and the fact that I forge regularly and its the best anvil I have ever had) but for its own sake, how much do you all think this is worth? I live in rural Missouri if that helps. It weighs approximately 158 pounds, though I doubt the scale is very accurate, it always says I weight more than I really do -)Īre all PW anvils wrought iron? In other words, do some have a separate piece of steel welded to the top? The anvil is gorgeous and rings like the liberty bell.īased upon the other posts I have read about Peter Wright's anvils, it would appear this is a pre-1900 model. It is amazing what a wire wheel, emory cloth, wet/dry sandpaper, Liquid Wrench, and WD-40 can do. I haven't posted here in a very long time, but I recently got a Peter Wright anvil (it was willed to me.) It was my great grandfathers, and he used it for shoeing the horses and apparently as a counterweight on his tractor! The pics I have posted below is how it looked when I brought it into my shop, and then after I cleaned it up.
