Stopped by the local steel pusher and picked up this chunk... (post anvil)

[dperk]

Hopefully this will work where my used Peter Wright won't...
4140 steel 3 7/8" x 4 1/2" x 18"

 

[thegeek574]

good score. how much did it run you?

 

[dperk]

just over $150. If that's not a good deal, don't tell me... I'm happy about it

Oh, it's 89 lbs.

 

[mgysgthath]

I want one

 

[seaplane]

I guess you will heat treat it ? Let us know how you do on it! I've been looking at old anvils and they are high dollar!

buck sixty nine a pound is pretty reasonable for 4140.
