ANVILS AVAILABLE
Stan Marks - Morris Road 41719, RR 4 Brussels, 519-887-6207
Stan has a stet up at the Goderich flea market at the Historic Gaol in that town every Sunday. I have seen his stuff over the years. He generally offers reasonable prices. Do watch that he caters to a 'tool collector' market (will attempt to get more for anvils with visible makers marks). He had a Mouse Hole in good working condition at roughly $1.50 a lb ($250 for the 180 lbs). He siad he also had several other anvils for sale.
Worth a phone call...

Note - added August 12, 2008.
I saw Stan's set up at Goderich (now located at the main town square in the centre of Goderich) on the last two Sundays. He had a total of four anvils available. Frankly, only one of these was what I would consider in anything like 'working condition'. He has come to consider anvils some kind of 'collector's item' and is jacking up prices to suit. The range I saw was roughly $3 per lb - and considering three were too rough to actually forge on...
The one (almost) suitable was about a 120 lb Mouse Hole. It needed the face ground down a bit, but otherwise looked and sounded ok. His asking price was $375.
