Back in the 1970's, the Arkansas Highway Department moved their Central shop from Jacksonville, Arkansas to West Little Rock, Arkansas. They had a sale after the move and there were a lot of old stuff that I craved, but had no money to buy, nor skills to use. Among them were a large coal forge, a power hammer and a large anvil. The anvil must have weighed 700-800 lbs. Lots of hand tools to go with these items. This shop was in an old building that was used during WWII in some capacity and I think these things were from that era. I did not get to attend the sale and would have been barred from bidding as I was a employee, but I had no money anyway. miles
That anvil alone probably went for more than $2000.00. They are hard to find. There are forums devoted to anvils.
