I'd have gotten it. Put it down at the end of the bench, use for sheet metal and such. The Fisher anvil was known as the silent anvil. Mine is a 1908, and has a nice thunk instead of the ring. Even 110 years ago people were getting fed up with the noise. Working with a good steel ringing anvil is almost as bad as listening to hard rock. Makes a guy say, "HUH" a lot.
