Peter wright anvil

[Dakota 11]

Ok may have scored one of these locally for cheap and need some info. from the photo it looks pretty clean but dont know excatly what to be looking for. They estimate it is about 100 pounds or so. Anything i should be particular when looking at it?

Make sure it isnt overly swaybacked.Take a straight edge and check the face.Make sure it bounces a hammer well without dinging .Its easy to pick up a good looking anvil that might have been in fire and lost it's temper.

THe anvil ( IF its a Peter Wright) will be marked in english weights. THere should be three numbers on the side. If its a hundred pounds the numbers would be 0 1 44.
