So there's a bunch of the budget cast steel anvils and I have 3 separate brands (Vevor, Doyle, Easmvetaln) and I actually quite like them as shop anvils even though their induction plate hardening is pretty shallow.

I ran across this new 400lb one from this strange furniture brand, they have a 200lb and a 100lb too. The price per pound is the same as the others at about $2 a pound so I'm sure the cost in manufacturing is viable but I don't know how they're shipping 400lb of freight.

When I bought my 440lb holland, we went through a specialty shipping heavy freight company. When Alec steel sold anvils, he set his weight at 140lb not only is that a perfect weight for pretty much all smithery but it was also the weight limit for easy shipping through the mail.

Anyway, I'm curious about this 400lb budget anvil but not enough to drop a grand on it, especially for a London pattern. If it was a double horn at least, maybe.
